    Yeah, true, but I wasn’t trying so much to find whether there was a lot of alcohol being consumed. My aim was more to see whether Russia was a net importer or exporter, since the claim was that alcohol producers [outside Russia] would be upset with the Russian sanctions, that it would cut the producers off from the Russian market.

    However, if Russia were a net exporter and you are an alcohol producer, then it’d be removing more competition than it would be closing off markets; producers would likely benefit.
