It's a tradition in some of these countries to place a bottle of vodka on the table after a meal. Hillary was the one to grab the bottle and serve her fellow senators (Ithink that three of them had gone on this trip). Apparently McCain later told someone that he was impressed with her ability to hold her liquor and approvingly called her "one of the guys". They have been on friendly terms ever since.
