Conform noului raport al\u00a0Organiza\u021biei pentru Cooperare\u00a0\u0219i Dezvoltare Economic\u0103, \u00een Rom\u00e2nia, \u00een\u00a0anul 2025, era\u00a0\u00eenregistrat un consum\u00a0de 12,3 litri\u00a0de alcool pur\u00a0pe cap de\u00a0locuitor, cel mai\u00a0ridicat nivel din\u00a0Uniunea European\u0103.

Principala cauz\u0103\u00a0a consumului abuziv\u00a0de alcool, acum\u00a0un secol \u0219i\u00a0jum\u0103tate, era s\u0103r\u0103cia\u00a0lucie \u0219i lipsa\u00a0cronic\u0103 de educa\u021bie\u00a0din mediul rural.

Consumul exagerat de\u00a0alcool ducea automat, \u00een multe cazuri, la alcoolism. Medicii\u00a0vremii d\u0103deau vina\u00a0\u0219i pe o\u00a0tradi\u021bie mai veche, care, iat\u0103, a\u00a0supravie\u021buit p\u00e2n\u0103 ast\u0103zi: aceea ca rom\u00e2nii\u00a0s\u0103 bea alcool\u00a0cu orice ocazie, de la nunt\u0103\u00a0la botez, de\u00a0la sup\u0103rare la\u00a0bucurie. Tocmai de\u00a0aceea, medicul \u015etefan\u00a0Possa considera c\u0103, la finele secolului\u00a0al XIX-lea, aproximativ 24% din\u00a0popula\u0163ia zonei Moldovei\u00a0era atins\u0103 de\u00a0alcoolism.<\/p>\n

Peste 7000 de litri de b\u0103uturi alcoolice \u00een patru luni<\/h2>\n

Medicii \u0219i preo\u021bii\u00a0vremii vin cu\u00a0date concrete privind\u00a0consumul de alcool\u00a0de la \u00eenceputul\u00a0secolului al XX-lea. Cifrele sunt\u00a0aproape ireale.

De exemplu, preotul\u00a0Ath.
