Default Have to sneak some booze into a concert today...

What are my best options? You are allowed to bring in an empty water bottle. No outside drinks whatsoever. Backpacks may be searched. I have some fake pop can wraps for around beer, but that won't do me any good at this event. Basically, I need to bring in some rye.

Depends on how well they search you. Will there be a pat down? Metal detectors? Each present their own hurdles.


Metal detectors, like at the dome, with no pat down should be easy. Just make sure it is all plastic and tuck it into your waistband.

No metal detectors but a full pat down, google how to stash stuff for a pat down (hint: avoid the ones that suggest butt stuff).

Mickey in the boot or stretch your sock around it.

If you can see people being patted down, leave and crotch it.

Yeah crotch or shoe are usually best bet if there's a pat down.

I was once offered a swig of whiskey from a crotch stashed ziplock bag at a Black Crowes show-I turned it down

Duct tape a mickey to your chest. I've done it before and never had any problems. They rarely ever go through the trouble of patting you down from the chest, and it's usually confined to the sides.



However, no method is foolproof.

Hmm.

Anyway, Sliver, what concert is this? That kind of security (pat downs, metal detectors) is usually reserved for the Saddledome.

Indoor or outdoor show?
We used one of these fake sunscreen bottles at a festival last year and it worked great!

It's cheaper if you bring in your own...

If you can bring in food - get a medium uncut loaf of bread and steal a sandwich sheet from Safeway. Dig out the bread and place a Mickey in the loaf. Disguise with lettuce and cheese and some cold cuts. Wrap it in sandwich sheet then plastic wrap.

I've done this without issue in the past.

Are you afraid that they won't have any rye at the concert?

Empty Pepto Bismol bottle? They are colored solid pink. Though you're hosed if they check it.

One of my fave memories of going to concerts was August 1983 (?) and going to commonwealth to see David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, and the Tubes.

It was smoking hot out and at the time you were permitted to bring your own drinks in but there was a zero tolerance policy for alcohol. There were literally barrels full of seized mickeys and bottles etc. and those folks were then escorted out the door.

Knowing this was the case as we had been to a show there earlier we had to come up with an idea to get a bottle of vodka in.

We had a water jug similar to this one though ours was both shorter and wider



So after much thought over a couple cases of beer i went to the corner store at the time and purchased a small package of balloons. I removed the biggest orange colored balloon in the package and proceeded to fill it with a 26 oz bottle of Smirnoff. Once it was in i bled out the air as much as i could and tied the opening like you would any balloon to were inflating. I then placed the balloon inside the jug and filled it with orange juice. Right before leaving to the stadium in then topped it off with ice cubes.

Get to the stadium and sure enough i get pulled to the table where they were searching people...they pat me down etc but were completely focused on the jug. He opened it up looked inside, swirled it a bit, smelled it and then handed it back to me.

Once inside and down on the field i merely popped the balloon with something and allowed the vodka to run out....once empty the rubber floated up and i grabbed it and threw it away and had a huge jug of screwdrivers to enjoy for the day.

It was an amazing show as well. Good times.

One thing I saw a lot of when I went to a festival over in the UK a few years ago was people sneaking in boxed wine. Just take the bag out of the box, stuff it in your pants, profit. I mean yeah you gotta drink boxed wine, but it's all about getting drunk for cheap right?
