In the middle of the outrage

Been skimming wikileaks news articles and this bit made me stop and giggle:

A cable last year from London recounts a dinner there celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Bank of China. A source said that Vice Premier Wang Qishan attended, according to the cable, "and that Wang claimed he is allergic to alcohol" but the Brits "had planned a whiskey dinner." The British apparently had been "confused . . . because the former head of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority had said he used to go drinking together with Wang."

So...did the guy suddenly give up alcohol? Or is this a mistranslation between fruit-based western alcohol and rice wine? Or just messin' with the Brits' heads? You decide.
