    Did Ashton Kutcher Pick Up Hepatitis at Socialista?If you ordered a drink from Socialista on February 7, 8, or 11, beware of hepatitis A! According to the New York City Health Department, the bartender who worked those nights has the liver ailment, which “is spread by putting something in one’s mouth (even though it might look clean) that has been contaminated with traces of fecal matter from an infected person.” So who was celebrating his 30th birthday there on February 7?
