Uzbek newspaper 'Savdogar'
December 18
rinking alcohol at weddings and parties is becoming increasingly
common among Uzbek women, an article published in the Uzbek newspaper Savdogar
on 18 December says.
The article says: "It is not a sign of a good thing that some women drink as much vodka as men at birthday and other parties."
About 10-15 years ago it was something unusual to hear about women drinking alcohol, but now it has become an ordinary thing, the article adds.
