Side tracking note:
Doesn't take much, I remember a story from France on the grand opening of the (then?) deepest subway line. After much drinking of the bubble's the dignitary's started to leave and getting violently sick on the way up in the lifts. The gas from the champagne gas was expanding and essentially causing the bends... They had to be sent back down for a few hours...
Similar things happened when they were digging the footings for the Golden Gate bridge. But the workers just died without any booze being consumed, took a while someone clicked...
