    Wait... darn, I suppose beer doesn't cut it. Vodka is probably much more appropriate here. Could we get a vodka icon to please Mother Russia? :) Darn, now I need to use the joke icon too. Could we get the option to use 2 icons to please us drunk writers? :P

    could just be me, but...

    it seems like a stunt to get press coverage timed to their switch in licensing model.
