Turns out Aunt Albertina Alaska was concerned about that as well, so she drank - get this - nothing but Brandy Alexanders. For four months. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

We suspect she didn't remember squat about her trip and made up stories to tell the family, but we're sure she had a helluva time.
