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.
But do those lifts actually go that high? That's just such a crazy thought haha
