What reading level is The Russian Vodka Monopoly book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The provisions of the law of 1885 were not, however, effectively enforced before the introduction of the State monopoly.
19 Whether the change to an exclusive * off ' sale (as far as the State shops were concerned), was a wise one, is a question which need not here be discussed, but experience in other countries goes to show that the substitution of * off ' sales for * on ' sales has a dangerous tendency to increase con- sumption on the part of habitues of the former public-houses. Certainly in... Russia it seems to have been largely responsible for street drunkenness. The smallest bottle sold in the State shops contained approximately just over one-ninth of an imperial pint of spirit, of a strength of 40 per cent. This quantity, consumed in the street outside in an undiluted form (as was the common custom), was obviously a much larger and more potent dram than the dram of whisky or other spirit sold in British public-houses. It has also to be remembered that, under the former system of sale, men who were intoxicated usually slept off the effects of their drink in the shelter of the * kabak.
