“I support his (Khamzaev. -

) position that drunkenness is evil.

It hits the gene pool, hits the life expectancy, gives rise to diseases, especially when a person starts drinking alcohol from an early age, ”said the deputy.

He added that now the law allows the purchase of alcohol from the age of 18.

“We have general rules and I believe that as long as the law allows you to buy alcohol from the age of 18, any such restrictions will not work and vice versa will cause certain tension among young people who will not be allowed into nightlife.

After all, not everyone drinks alcohol ... If you prohibit coming to nightlife, then where is the guarantee that they will not start walking around the courtyards, apartments, gathering at shops and so-called "drinks", - said Nilov.

Earlier, a member of the Public Chamber, Sultan Khamzayev, proposed to ban people under the age of 21 from visiting night bars and restaurants in Russia.
