Such restrictions provoke a backlash among consumers, say in the city Council.
The decision of the Kyiv city Council to ban the sale of alcoholic beverages at night is ineffective and, therefore, the question of its cancellation will be considered in the near future. This writes UNN with reference to the Kyiv city Council Deputy Volodymyr Bondarenko.
“At the time of adoption of this decision, it is, and from the point of view of legal analysis was very questionable. Already at that time it caused the lawyers, the professionals, and I also like the lawyer question legal purity. But still we decided to try, because today a large part of society suffers from alcoholism. In the near future will consider the question on its cancellation, and about that conversation was. I spoke with Alexander Brodsky, that the decision is not valid”, – he said.
Bondarenko also noted that to foster a culture of alcohol consumption bans on the sale of alcohol will not succeed. After all, the way prohibition never gave the desired effect, but on the contrary, such restrictions provoke a backlash among consumers.
“I think we should go the other way – it is necessary to raise the consciousness of citizens to have a tough attitude to activities “razlive” at night. It is no secret that there are places where you can buy alcohol. Banal the ban will do nothing, it is a fact. Because there is such a factor, as an alternative solution of issues of alcoholism, counterfeits different, the so-called hawthorns. You know, it was Russia. We have something similar maybe. And has been – in the Kharkiv region destroyed there were a large number of people with methyl alcohol. And we also talked about these alternatives and understand that there are taxi drivers who will bring alcohol on the night that there is some form to get around the ban. Anyway, of course, a normal person, if he had some amount of alcohol on occasion – it will decide this issue not at night, and will buy it in advance,” he said.
We will remind, on September 22, the Kyiv city Council, after the Mafs, banned the trade in alcohol in all stores from 23:00 to 10:00.
