Here's some trivia for you. As we got into the 1990s, corporate America started prohibiting any expense reimbursement for alcoholic beverages even if you took a client for dinner - after business hours.
That's about when restaurants started giving you two receipts if you paid by credit card. One receipt listed out all the menu items you ordered (including drinks) and the other receipt only listed the total amount charged - without any itemization. The latter was the receipt you turned in with your expenses and corporate would be none the wiser as they processed the expense. So long as alcohol was not listed on the receipt, you would get reimbursed.
Starting in the late 80’s, we could not drink during business hours but our customer could. I was in international sales. Most non-American customers thought we’d gone stark raving mad!!
So I was always playing the old world clock game (”let me see, it must be 22.00h in Seattle so I can have a drink.....” Or “Gee, it must be 0600 in Tokyo so I’ll have a beer...”)
