"on hangover," from Mr. Dean Allen.
just to give you an idea.

Daphne and I went to a rather strange and large Russian Christmas party last night; people brought vodkas of all different flavors in beautiful bottles... vanilla, anise, spiced apple, lemon, coffee, ginger, mixed citrus, sesame, tea, spiced orange, spicy hot pepper, blood orange, mango, garlic (which many people smelled and no one actually drank), and others. I tasted almost all of the ones I've listed here, I'm afraid, but I stuck to tiny little tastes, not whole shots.

and I'm not nearly as hung over as I thought I would be, but that must be because I was a good girl and didn't mix.

a side note:
in doing a little vodka research, I just stumbled upon a website called askmen.com. I'm amused to find that information about vodka etiquette is under the heading Power & Money-> Success & Image.
