The OP proposed to raise the legal age of alcohol sales to 21 years

On August 11, Sergey Rybalchenko, Chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on demography, protection of family, children and traditional family values, proposed raising the legal age for alcohol sales to 21.

"The age limit for alcohol consumption should be considered. Today, most 11th graders are already adults and can purchase alcohol. This means that their underage peers also fall into the sphere of this influence," the TASS news agency quoted the official as saying.
