A CAMBODIAN RIDDLE

Three brothers wish to divide twenty-four bottles amongst themselves. Of the twenty-four bottles, twelve are large and twelve are small. Of the twelve large bottles, seven are filled with alcohol and five are empty. Of the twelve small bottles, seven are filled with alcohol and five are empty. The question is: How should the three brothers divide up the bottles in such a way that each obtains the same number of large and small bottles?
