   Ah, yes, just asking, out of idle curiosity, and also to raise the signal a   
   bit.   
   ULs are thin on the ground now with everyone whipping out a smartphone to check   
   Wiki online at the drop of a hat.   
      
   Couldn't see vodka could contain anything but a trace of lactose. I'd gathered   
   that that milk was added as a flocculant and then filtered out of the alcohol   
   to   
   remove impurities.   
      
   However, more googling leads me to this, by a supplier offering a vodka on   
   alibaba:   
      
   "Vodka "russkiy parliament" has a special natural carbohydrate module   
   (naturaladditives - amber acid, lactose and some others) which prevents the   
   absorption of the toxic substances into the blood. Thus, it considerably   
   lessens   
   the morning-after syndrome. Another effect of amber acid results in velvet   
   smoothness of the vodka. The bottle of "russkiy parliament" has an original non   
   refillable closure with tubular measuring hopper. Every bottle is delivered in   
   an effective looking gift box."
