Result - NO alcohol, he simply stumbled walking up the steps.
NOT EVEN AN APOLOGY FROM THE COMPANY, OR PURSER FOR THE GRIEF THEY CAUSED HIM!
Warlock 2000 - As far as I remember that captain was the same JD who is now in jail. I was also there when the then HOFO Chris Knowles offered a profound apology in the presence of most of EK's brass.
