The Drunken Tailgate

Drunkenness Sells Out

We’ve talked about disposable flasks before, and I think they are a great way to sneak alcohol into games. They can be concealed better than most flasks and they will easily pass through a metal detector. But what am I to make of the fact that Restoration Hardware now sells their own line of sneak-it-in disposable flasks? They cost twice as much as the original, but is that really a concern when your already dropping $260 for a model car or $60 for fake Chuck Taylor low tops. I guess we should expect Home Depot to start selling pre-made beer funnels and iTunes to start listing Power Hour mixes.

Hide Your Flask Inside a Book

You’re on a college campus so it’s conceivable that you’d bring a book into a game right? I see people in the library on gameday so surely there are people who read in the stands during warmups. Well now you can sneak your liquor into the game by getting a hand crafted book featuring a cutout for your flask. Etsy is a craft goods site where people either sell their goods or you can commission artists to do your bidding. So user Pommes Frites had the good idea to create these books with the hidden compartments. They will cut the pages to match the included 6 oz steel flask for around $40. You could also get a used book, an exacto knife, and a bigger flask and create your own. It just depends on how lazy and drunk you are.

Arizona Tailgatresses

Arizona girls show they can tailgate with proper wearing of jerseys, double fisting of Keystone Light, sneaking of alcohol by means of binoculars flask, and procurement of foam finger.

Advances in Sneaking In Alcohol

The LA Times has a story on pre packaged shots. These are discreet plastic packets that are filled with either fruity shots like Kamizkazes or straight liquor. I don’t know what took so long to create these. If you go into any college town on a fall Saturday you’ll see almost every customer in a liquor store grab a miniature. And there is only one reason for that. So why wouldn’t you make one that is less visible in your pocket or waist line?

Disposable Flasks are a perfect way to conceal liquor underneath your clothes and not set off metal detectors. The upgrade here is substituting a hard plastic container with a flexible plastic bag. And it’s an upgrade over ziplock bags because of the screw cap. Once again, why did it take this long? I’ll probably end up ordering these online but I wish my local liquor store carried some of this stuff.

Any of these would be better than the anxiety I experienced when sneaking a huge flask into the student section. I was known to panic on some occasions and just finish the flask before entering. I wasn’t so much afraid of getting arrested as I was scared of missing the game. So I’m all in favor of these new concealable products, though I can think of some merit to the more traditional ways of sneaking liquor into the game…
