High Spirits?

Members of a Russian youth hockey team were offloaded from a Delta Airlines flight in Buffalo because they were drunk and, apparently, disorderly. The intriguing part of the press conference afterwards related to what they had consumed to get into such a state. Was it vodka? No, it was only champagne. That’s alright then. Russia and America appear to have a class system after all. Vodka drunk bad, champagne drunk good.
