Why a St. Bernard Will Not Save You in the Alps

High in the Alps, you’ve lost your way: snow blind, thirsty and cold. But what’s that bark? A rescue dog? And can it be? Has the St. Bernard that’s come to your aid really brought you a flagon of brandy? Why not have a sip?

Answer: Because you’re hypothermic and hallucinating. It’s only an interesting historical myth that St. Bernards carry brandy. It’s unfortunate, but you are probably going to die.
