The authorities take insufficient measures at combating Russia's struggle with alcoholism, the explanatory note to the bill says.
Mikheyev proposed the idea that alcoholic beverages should only be able to be puchased with bank cards. According to the lawmaker, this measure would serve to limit the sale of alcohol to minors. Furthermore, the cash sale ban would eliminate alcohol sales in the small stores, where alcohol is often on the market at night time in violation of law.
Igor Rudensky, head of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, lauded the idea as very interesting, but noted that it is hardly realizable in the Russian countryside.
