Stephen, no alcohol involved at all. My SIL and BIL are devoutly religious and don't drink, smoke, curse, etc. Although I am sure that at the time, Pam was probably praying that the oceans would open up and swallow her. I just can't even imagine - "uh, excuse me Purser, has anyone turned in some dirty underwear???" - I can assure you if I found them - I wouldn't touch them, let alone cart them along to the purser's desk.
