Hitchens and... and... COFFEE?

I can't be the only person bemused that the famouse Christopher Hitchens, lord of the commentariat, is presented in his Vanity Fair caricature as the only person at the table without a drink of alcohol? Hitchens makes good sense on most matters besides the war in Iraq (witness this lovely piece on xmas)

Hitchen's skills at imbibing are so well known that those who dislike him (other than I) frequently run around calling him a drunk. Here is Alexander Cockburn (quite a piece in and of himself) pointing the finger.

So how can the Vanity Fair use this caricature? (Unless the rest of the table is ceding the entire remainder of the bottle to Hitchens)
