Beer No Longer 'Soft Drink' In Russia

Russia has finally classified beer as an alcoholic beverage. Previously it was considered a soft drink because the alcohol content was under 10%. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian and Ben Mankiewicz discuss.

REZNOV! thumbs up if you get the reference

I still don't get why our drinking age isn't 18. Why aren't more people behind lowering the age in the states? WE CAN GO TO WAR BUT CANT HAVE A DRINK??? Almost all problems in america are cause by the no-conservatives.

@andrewsaccount09 Actually the map shows that there have been few hits in Russia but very few. Why? Nobody there watches English shows in the first place.

@bulbinking The problems in our country are caused by politicians and those who support them. And while I agree with you, that the drinking age should be reduced seeing as you are officially an adult and should be able to do whatever the hell you (legally) want, there are much bigger issues in this country than your desire to get smashed. Cool your jet Charlie Sheen.

Vodka is still a soft drink.

The legal drinking age in the Netherlands is 16 for alcohol <15%, but since about 10 years that law is quite strict (about 15 years ago, when I was 10, I would buy my dad some beers, and no questions were asked, that's no longer possible). But strict laws lead to more binge drinking by kids when they do get their hands on alcohol... The more restrictions you put on alcohol, the more of a problem it causes... But I doubt the Russians can make this law a strict one.
