Pskov alcoholics turned to home-brew
Due to massive poisoning with illegal spirit in Pskov region alcoholics started to buy home-brewed alcohol. As police authority major Dmitry Zhukov told to PIA, not only consumers are frightened to death but sellers too. Nowadays there are almost no illegal spirit seized.
On 1 December there were 3591 litres of spirit containing liquid seized, most of it occured to be wash. On 3 December 630 litres of wash were also seized in Pskov city.
"Home-brew effect is the same as of spirit although it is only 30-35% strong. Sellers add drowsy tablets into it to reach the effect", Zhukov added.
This costs more. A bottle of illegal spirit costs 15-20 rubles, a bottle of home-brew is 30-50 rubles. "Yet it's production is more expensive process. But stillthere are some cases of mixture home-brew with spirit again", major concluded.
