Think Vital Voices has a lot to answer for- not to mention the publicists who should hang their heads in shame.

Got stopped today by a Moscow traffic policeman. Our conversation:
"When did you last have a drink?"
"I haven't had a drink."
[Policeman sticks head into car & sniffs.]
"Is that your eau de cologne I can smell?"
"I haven't put on any eau de cologne."
"No drink? And no eau de cologne?! Drive on."
