I almost always bring my flask with me to events where liquor is ridiculously overpriced. Feel free to continue to get fleeced by paying $7 for .5oz of booze though. Real smart and adult like of you.
Have fun feeling all smug and important while you spend half the game waiting in line to get a drink and then paying amazing rip-off prices for it. I don't mind grabbing the odd beer but hard liquor is so poorly set up at the dome only chumps try and get drunk off hard liquor at Flames game.

Do you need to get drunk every time you go somewhere they serve booze? I usually have a drink or two, but why would I want to get hammered and forget what happened at the hockey game? I don't drink hard liquor, but if I did I wouldn't sneak booze in. That doesn't make you thrifty or smart. If I'm going to an event and the price for something is listed and I want it, I pay for it. If I think it's too expensive I don't buy it. It's not that hard of a concept to follow. Do you bring your own food into a restaurant too? Things cost more at arenas, restaurants, etc.
On a side note, I think it's funny your avatar is a mature, sweater wearing, wine drinking master criminal. He may have tried to kill Bart, but he at least didn't sneak in his wine.

It's not the price I pay for the drink that makes me feel like an adult, it's the fact I don't have to pull the drink out of my pants and sneak into a washroom that makes me feel like an adult. If the flask method was so mature, why don't you hold it in front of you when you walk through the door and/or announce that you have one?

Squigs said he grew up and stopped sneaking booze in cause he's not a kid anymore. I agree with him.
Cecil seems to think grown-ups don't pay full price for booze and should sneak it in and spike their drink in the bathroom.

Exactly. The only reason I would have snuck booze in somewhere, is because I was juvenille and/or I wasn't of age. Once I was allowed to buy booze like an adult (legal drinking age), I thought I should probably act like one. Sneaking in a flask is not adult like. You can justify that it's cheaper, or the arena is ripping you off, but no one is forcing you to drink or get hammered.

Agreed

If people get drunk at every hockey game, it is going to be expensive whether they buy it at the Dome or smuggle it in. Personally, I go to watch hockey. Sometimes I have a beer. Sometimes I have a Sprite. Sometimes I have a hot dog, but I've never thought of bringing my own hotdogs in because the Dome ones were more expensive than the ones at Safeway.
