Hazardous alternatives to alcohol beverages are still widely available in Russia

The term "non-beverage alcohols" refers to manufactured liquids that contain alcohol but are not intended for consumption, such as medicinal tinctures, aftershave, alcohol-based anti-freeze, antiseptics, and eau-de-colognes. Drinking these products is very hazardous to one's health. Prior research (see the October 2005 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research) had found a high availability of non-beverage alcohols in one city in Russia; this follow-up study of 17 Russian cities has found they are still widely available.
