Excessive alcohol consumption in Oschersleben: man riots in the supermarket!
In Oschersleben, on June 14, 2025, an alcoholic man caused a commotion in a shopping market on Friedrichstrasse. The police were called at 7:10 p.m. because the 60-year-old was attracting attention because of his bullying behavior. After being asked to leave the market, he reappeared about an hour later. This time he threw glass bottles onto the street and used his walker as a weapon against an 18-year-old passerby. To prevent further crimes, the police took him into custody. The troublemaker now has to answer for dangerous interference with road traffic [sachsen-anhalt.de](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitigungen/polizei?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=singl e&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bud%5D=577519&cHash=6fcf12d3a2a92c942f514e4eb607d279) reported.

The police, who were present throughout the festival, were fortunately able to prevent further incidents.
Focus on alcohol
Alcohol plays an ambivalent role in German society. The average alcohol consumption is around 90 liters of beer and 20 liters of wine per capita per year, as data from [statista.com](https://de.statista.com/themen/12137/ Alcohol abuse/) shows. These figures show that Germany ranks fifth in the world for alcohol consumption per capita. Over 15% of the population engages in risky consumption behavior, with alcohol often being positively associated with partying.
Dangerous interference with road traffic due to alcohol abuse is a recurring theme. According to [saarland- Fernsehen.com](https://www.saarland- Fernsehen.com/2017/10/02/gefaehrlicher-eingriff-in-den-strassenverkehr-2/), numerous dangerous situations have been documented in the past, including the deliberate laying of nails on the road to damage vehicles. Such acts underscore the dangers that can arise from alcohol-related misbehavior in public.
The health consequences of alcohol consumption are serious, ranging from mental disorders to serious illnesses such as cancer and liver disease. The Robert Koch Institute warns that alcohol is one of the five main risk factors for impairment and death worldwide. This problem is particularly noticeable among young people: over 40% of 15-year-olds in Germany say they have already been drunk.
