The lady in OP's original posts did three things. Objected to the kiss, ran out of the room and did not perform at work adequately for three days.

Just dealing with the first two I think the blame lies more with the guy who tried to kiss her. I have been on assignment in France and know that kissing especially between those of opposite sex is only between business associates who know each other well.

Secondly in this age of globalisation he should have know of possible sensitivities.

My colleagues in UK know to first judge whether a lady (especially from overseas) wishes to shake hands. Even though shaking hands between men and women is normal here.

Same with alcohol. Many people worldwide are aware that Muslims and members of some Christian denominations will not drink alcohol and many others prefer not to in a business setting.
