Annotation: The article examines the sociocultural, economic, and regulatory factors shaping the Russian alcohol market and key trends in its functioning. The key factors shaping the alcohol market model, where the economic interests of producers and importers, primarily pursuing commercial gains, intersect with changing consumer preferences and the goals of state regulation of the alcohol market are highlighted. The author systematizes the traditional functions of the modern alcohol market in Russia, highlights the legal aspects of state management of the trans- formation of this segment of market relations, and analyzes the dynamics and structure of retail sales, production, circulation, and consumption of alcoholic beverages that are currently developing. Particular attention is paid to the budget component in the cost of alcoholic beverages and its role as a lever of influence on economic and social processes in society. The study demonstrates the need for government intervention in the functioning of the alcohol market, determines the fiscal significance of excise taxation, and outlines the directions and prospects for the further development of state regulation of this important sector of the economy.
