But they say it "Gives you Wings"....right????

If anyone could find me a job where I was ALLOWED to drink on the job, I'd send you my resume in a hot minute. Seriously, when did getting intoxicated while on the clock become taboo? I thought multi-tasking was a desirable quality in an employee? You show me a corporate culture that lets you have a margarita with your afternoon conference call- and I'll show you one happy work force.
But apparently taking some vodka and redbull to the face isn't appropriate when your working, even if your job is high jumping. Russian high-jumper Ivan Ukhov will potentially face a year of suspension for a less than stellar performance ( actually a brilliant beyond brilliant drunken debauchery of a high jump failure) in which he failed to qualify for the Beiing Olympics. something about disgracing his country by trying to high jump under the influence and some crap.

That's funny...I thought Stoli was the official sports drink of Russia?
