Soccer, on the rocks

Though it's not been making headlines recently, the H1N1 (swine flu) virus is still on a rampage in parts of the world, including Great Britain.

Not to worry, Russia's soccer fans have been told to drink whisky when they visit Wales next month for the World Cup qualifier match. Supposedly, it will act as a disinfectant of sorts.

What could go wrong with a bunch of soccer fans drinking not only enough to help cheer on their team but also enough to combat a pandemic?

Maybe I'm overreacting ... it's not like soccer fans are prone to violence.
