To celebrate Playgirl's March Travel issue, Happy Ending makes like an international flight and gets you drunk for free, courtesy of Alchemy infused vodka! With this issue's pictorials, you can vicariously join the mile-high club, watch an Egyptian sand job, speak the international wanguage of love, and win big in Vegas, baby!

Plus, amusement park sexcapades, the deets on British sex trends toothing and dogging, and sexy travel destinations. And what would a Playgirl party be without goody bags to ease the pain of the next day?
