>>The trouble was more frequently in the bottles present in the offices. I wasn't even aware of it, as I was mostly on the road, but now in retrospect, out of 14 people in the company where I was in the early nineties, one is 2m under, one is retiring and doesn't look too good, one has retired early and is out of rehab, one is divorced and sort of settled now.

The one who didn't know what was going on... or at least how much of it. I knew there were always a couple of bottles around, but I thought that was for the guests, and whoever was the host at the moment, and I did drink a few when I was not with a car and it was the end of a long day. What I didn't know was the speed of replacing the faulty (aka empty) bottles with good ones.
