“Residents of the houses, where shopping and public eating facilities are located, complain about noise and breach of the peace at nighttime in the surrounding area, which is in the first place connected with the alcohol consumption,” the document says.

It goes on to say that alcohol consumption by the citizens close to the residential houses interferes with people’s rest during the evening and night, causes mental discomfort, uncontrolled pollution and public property damage.

According to the City Duma deputies, problems caused by the excessive alcohol consumption are common for all Russian regions.
