Five Day Work Week Spurs Vodka Sales Rise in Russia
Associated Press reports that Russia’s push to a five day work week has increased vodka consumption by over 24 percent as workers gain two days off. Production suffered as many were unfit for Monday shifts. the trend follows a long historical shift from the wartime 66 hour week to a 41 hour six day schedule and finally to the present extended weekends. The Komsomol approves extra leisure time though many workers see no life improvements with more household duties and some cite hooliganism and drunkenness as side effects.
