Scientists estimate the damage from heavy drinking in Russia at 0.7% of GDP annually
A study by Sechenov University showed: in 2017 and 2025, the country's losses from alcohol abuse amounted to 0.7% of GDP — 1.484 trillion rubles in 2025. More than 95% of indirect costs come from GDP losses due to premature death and reduced labor productivity.
