The state restricts and prohibits the production and consumption of alcohol and other related acts. It belongs to a part of liquor management. In ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history, the introduction of alcohol prohibition policy is often related to the social problems caused by drinking and its violation of religious precepts. As far as the history of China is concerned, prohibition of alcohol has a long history. 201212 In February, the Central Military Commission issued a notice and issued the Ten Provisions of the Central Military Commission on Strengthening Work Style Construction, which clearly pointed out that no banquets, no drinking and no high-end dishes were arranged.
First, the prohibition in China
China was the first country to start brewing, but it was also the first country to issue the prohibition of alcohol.
As early as the Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou issued a prohibition order (yes, the Duke of Zhou who can interpret dreams) called Jiu Hao. Not only is it strictly forbidden to drink alcohol during sacrifice, but even drinking in private requires beheading.
At the beginning of the week, just after the war, agricultural production was seriously damaged, and the contradiction between wine making and food shortage was very acute, so it was necessary to ban alcohol to protect food.
Prohibition has been issued more than once in China's history. Kong Rong is a celebrity who really lost his life because of prohibition.
On one occasion, because of the lack of food in the war, Cao Cao issued a prohibition order for fear that excessive drinking would affect the combat effectiveness of the army. Unexpectedly, Kong Rong immediately wrote an article "On Prohibition with Cao Cao" to satirize him. Cao Cao is not a generous man. He not only deposed Kong Rong, but also killed Kong Rong on charges of "unfilial".
Two. Prohibition in Russia
The inherent impression left by Russians is that they can drink and drink high alcohol. But in fact, before16th century, the world-famous Russian liquor "vodka" was not born. They only drink a small glass of low-alcohol wine on important festivals, and it will be rude if they get drunk at the party.
It was not until the16th century that the Russian government began to encourage people to drink in order to increase taxes, and people began to gradually develop the habit of drinking. /kloc-in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, Peter the Great even issued a special decree: any peasant woman who forcibly takes away her husband who is drinking in a pub must be whipped. People who drink are sacred!
The experience of drinking in Russia is really good. In the environment of tens of degrees below zero, drinking a cup will make you warm all over. Russians soon fell in love with the feeling of drinking high alcohol. With the encouragement of the government, as long as they don't leave the pub, their wives can't manage it anyway. Russian men drink more recklessly.
So soon, Russians had a serious drinking problem, and at the same time, there were serious security problems. Many people go home drunk after drinking in the pub and fall on the snow on the way. In the environment of tens of degrees below zero, they either freeze to death or get frostbite overnight. Moreover, long-term alcoholism has also caused the decline of Russian physique. There is really nothing the Russian government can do. Prohibition has been issued many times in history.
However, fierce Russians not only strongly oppose protests every time, but also always try their best to find alternatives to alcohol: airplane antifreeze, medical alcohol, hair gel, shoe polish, and even use shower gel containing methanol as wine, drinking more than 70 people at once! In order to taste the taste of wine, Russians do everything they can.
