ah yes, I remember when I first started working (late 70's) and I had a client that would take me out to 2-3 Martini lunches (while I was 21, I held my liquor reasonably well) after which I had to present to the President of a division a Fortune 500 company. I guess I was cogent and they became one of my company's largest clients so it must not have been an impediment.
