"Although vodka has long been the traditional tipple in Russia, beer has soared in popularity, being marketed as a healthier alternative to spirits."

Reminds me of when the Super Fans on SNL were in the hospital, and the doctor's advice was "Too much pork fat; you need more beef fat."

The move, signed into law on Wednesday, will allow ministers to control the sale of beer in the same way that spirits are controlled.

Uh...We're talking about Russia, right?

Not just for breakfast anymore...

Russia decides to reclassify beer.

I think it is still part of the food pyramid.
