    But how would you get the bottles into the top without a cherry picker? Imagine drinking a bunch of those small bottles, then hiding the evidence by carefully maneuvering a lift?? This whole story smells fishy…

      You underestimate how much people drank on the job back in the day and what their resulting tolerance was.

      I was a kid during the tail end of that being acceptable, and I just thought all adults drank all day every day.

      Remember that cargo was loaded onto planes with platform lifts and maintenance work would use scissor lifts. I don’t doubt that if wouldn’t be wise to empty the bottles into the wall while drunk but I’m sure they were sober eventually.
