Life in rural Kyrgyzstan: 85-year-old man claims 'never tasted alcohol'

AKIPRESS.COM - The 85-year-old man living in Alysh village of Naryn district has never tried alcohol in his life.

Mr Kemilov told Turmush he does not drink alcohol and fermented dairy products since his childhood.

“I have never drunk alcohol, I also can't stand jarma and kymyz [national drinks]. The main reason and advantage of such habit is that I stay healthy. I always tell young people that drinking alcohol never brings anything good,” said aksakal.
