"Now I have a glass in the morning, before and after lunch, with my dinner and then before I go to bed. My mother isn't here to tell me not to drink anymore but I'm not even tempted to quit coke for alcohol... I'll drink it til I die," he said.

Wasn't Croatia part of Yugoslavia? Wasn't Yugoslavia communist after WWII? Was Coke able to market their nefarious capitalist beverage in Yugoslavia during the height of the Cold War?
