I haven't heard this story, but as ouzo is a greek liquer, and italians
are notoriously ethnocentric, it seems unlikey.  I'm certainly willing
to buy the likelyhood of italian assembley-line workers drinking a bit,
but would be very surprised if ouzo was their medicine of choice.  As
for a bottle left in a door, it's probably pretty tight in there, but
who knows...
