The major concern for a mob like Dan Murphy’s would be that faecal or other contaminants are on the bottles. If someone drinks from the bottle and gets sick then the seller is liable for prosecution and suffers huge reputational damage.
Flooding brings all sorts of contamination out including the contents of our sewers, chemicals that were in containers that get washed away and a host of things that we’d all normally prefer remained buried. There are some very nasty incidents and illnesses that have occurred in communities following floods, one of the many reasons authorities advise people not to venture into flood waters.
I grew up in what was then a flood prone area and we’d get horror stories related to us at school in a bid to keep us out of the water.
