Not that Vodka is becoming less popular.  Beer is becoming more
popular, but I guess that's because beer is becoming better that it
used to be, say, 10 years ago.

Vodka is fine.  I mean good Vodka.  Chemically purified sh^H^Hstuff
like "Absolute" won't do.  Of brands known in the West I'd recommend
Stoli.  If it doesn't taste "grainy" it's no good, it's chemistry.

Consume in small quantities after a good supper in a small company of
good, trusted friends and you'll be fine.

Sorry for the off-topic, couldn't resist ;-).

SY, Uwe
