Actually, I think it was a $26 fare and you received your choice of alcohol.

IIRC Southwest was the largest Chivas Regal distributor in Texas that year.

The same flight could be had for $13 without the alcohol... just a way of extracting marginal revenue for the same seats when an individual was flying on a company dime.
