LONDON (AP) - Drinking alcohol not meant for consumption such as cologne and antiseptics may be responsible for nearly half of all deaths among working-age men in Russia, according to a study published Friday in The Lancet.
"It's an astounding finding," said Sir Richard Peto, a professor of medical statistics and epidemiology at Oxford University who was not connected to the study.
While the scientists limited their research to the Russian city of Izhevsk, experts suspect the community is probably not atypical.
