I haven't had the beer directly from the kiosks but I did have several bottles of Baltika brought back from Belarus. Presumably this was the beer sold at the kiosks (although many of the kiosks were really just draft trucks and not "kioksk" per se).

I found most of the beers quite good. Unfortunately the two of us that drank them thought it would be a wonderful exercise to drink them all and I couldn't tell you which number was my favorite or--for that matter--how they differed. It was a very pleasant experience though and one of my favorite overall beer hunger moments.

I was just in Russia a few months ago, I've seen many of these street kiosks selling beer, among other things, like chewing gum, newspapers, calling cards, etc. Business is done through a small window, everything that is available at the particular kiosk is show in the display window with price-tags. I did not see any street kiosk selling hard liquor.

From what I saw, I would make it illegal for street kiosks to sell alcoholic beverages (start with >9% and work your way done, non-alcoholic should be left there).

People would have to go the supermarket, or a special "beer" store. Also no alcohol sales after midnight in stores that are open past that time, no sales until 12pm. Card people that look under the age of 25.

Local governments should audit stores with young employees to ensure stores are following the law, a heavy fine for each offense.

Enact open container laws. Kick the drunks out of the parks, patrol them with security. For young people, there definitely needs to be more forms of entertainment versus buying a couple of beers and drinking/hanging out in the park.

This will take time, as for the laws, you enact one thing at a time, to slowly get people used to the idea of beer being less readily available. Market alternative soft drinks.
