46 years ago I walked in on my boss pouring himself a good sized shot
of whiskey into a glass on his desk. His door was open and I wanted to
catch him before he left for the day so I didn't knock. He was quite
shaken and, after downing the drink in one go, went into a detailed
explanation that he was "taking it" on doctor's orders because he'd
once had a heart attack and a stiff whiskey before he left work helped
relax him.

Frankly, up till that moment, he always seemed relaxed - especially
after lunch. Hummmm.

Oh ... and I wasn't to mention it to anyone else. Opps ...
