Efforts are made to guard against unnecessary blood loss from tests, and standard blood drawings are either reduced or eliminated altogether.

A second set of analyses of his blood had confirmed the original tests taken on Aug. 31: Paul had between 1.75 and 1.87 grams of alcohol per liter of blood, nearly four times the legal blood-alcohol limit of 0.5.

None more so than Christopher Sinclair, who led Pepsi's international soft-drinks business. He told Fortune in 1994, "If Coke starts growing 8%, we'll do 10% or 12%."
