The restriction on alcohol sale in the Chechen republic was introduced in 2009.

During that period a stable trend of alcoholism growth was registered, which in the same time was outrunning a growth of drug addiction in the Chechen republic.

Analysis on drug addiction and alcoholism for the period from 2008 through 2010 brought light to reducing of alcoholism in comparing to 2008 for 91%. This is against the background of drug addiction growth for 28%.

The reducing number of intoxicated vehicle drivers was also noted during that period.

The total number of crimes violating drug law has changed slightly, but the proportion of patients admitted for inpatient drug treatment increased.

Relying on analysis made during our research a conclusion on effectiveness of alcohol sale restriction on alcoholism and danger of complete ban of alcohol sale was made. It not only can’t solve the problem but may negatively affect the growth of drug addiction in society.
