-Champagne, then. Anyone remember how you could (maybe you still can; I 
don't suppose that was important enough to fix) simply grab Champagne from 
the air and drink of it? Those machines you see sometimes that dispense bad 
coffee into styrofoam cups, they "dispense coffee." One does not need to add 
to most listeners that they also give over a cup. The "It" rule says nowhere 
"It doesn't give you cups!" so I assume that it does, via the Permissibility 
rule.-
