@chyna I can’t believe you guys walked around naked all the time.
My mother was what is know as an “Aunt Mame” personality. If you have read Anais Nin’s diaries, she is that sort of person – a cross between Aunt Mame and Anais Nin. She even looked like Anias Nin.
Nudity was nothing to her, but manners, style, grace were very important.
As for curing my sister, it was when she was about eighteen. She would drink martinis and other cocktails until she passed out. At a party one day, she did exactly that quite early. A group of us went out and found a nearly drunk roughneck from a local bar and invited him to the party. We filled him with Scotch until he passed out. We stripper her naked and put her to bed – with him also naked next to her.
When we woke up next day he was gone and she never drank again. One of the other couple slept on the daybed in the room next to her – just in case he woke up. Not that we expected him to – he was well out of it.
