The narcologist approves restrictions on the sale of alcohol The narcologist and cognitive behavioral therapist Ilza Maxima positively evaluated the recently introduced restrictions on the sale of alcohol in stores. She said patients have repeatedly expressed gratitude for the changes because the new rules help them avoid impulse purchases. "Finally I can buy bread, milk and food for dinner for my family. I can calmly go to the store in the evening, and the system protects me. I understand that I can make a wrong step and do something I don't want to do, because unfortunately the disorder can play a cruel joke on me," the doctor said about the patients' reviews. According to her, restrictions are also useful for those who do not have an addiction to alcohol: they are more likely to wonder if they really need to buy alcohol or if today they can do without it and do something else. She also spoke out against the sale of alcohol at gas stations. According to her, gas stations are small social islands, and in rural areas they can sometimes be the only such place. You can eat there, drink coffee, socialize and chat, but there is no alcohol at the gas station.
