The United Nations is the center of global diplomacy.
But some diplomats have been accused of drinking on the job.
Colum Lynch is UN correspondent for the Washington Post and writes a blog for Foreign Policy.
He speaks to anchor Marco Werman about how a blog he wrote about the drinking culture at the UN inspired the creation of a new cocktail, the Diplomatic Hangover.
