World Cup Crisis! Russia Is Running Out Of Beer by kenneyyice(m): 2:53pm On Jun 20, 2018
It seems Russian bar owners grossly underestimated how much beer they’d be needing this summer.



According to reports, a number of holstelries in Moscow have already began to sell out of beer and if you’re in the city to watch the World Cup and you don’t like vodka, staying sober might be your only option.


Approximately one million football fans are expected to flock to Russia’s capital for the tournament and the high temperatures at this time of year means the city’s streets are throbbing with revellers every night until the early hours of the morning.
Beer has only been classed as an alcoholic drink in Russia since 2011, when a law was also passed prohibiting the sale of alcohol between 23:00 and 08:00. Before 2011, anything containing less than 10% alcohol was considered a foodstuff.



Russia is ranked 14th in the world in terms of alcohol consumption per capita, but only 32nd when it comes to beer. People from the Czech Republic drink the most beer in the world while Germans are fourth on the list, Americans 17th and the Brits way down in 28th.


Budweiser is the official beer of the 2018 World Cup, and Fifa has such a stranglehold on the competition that other brands are not available for purchase on match days.
Fifa has stitched up the market so much that you can't even buy booze in the supermarkets on match days, only Bud from their stands…
