With all the excitement about recruiting misses, upcoming season, etc., I figured I'd try to start a more light-hearted discussion about drinking. Specifically for games at Lane.
I've also seen some pretty creative ways to smuggle in the good stuff. Was wondering what everyone's favorite methods are, and what their favorite things to smuggle in are. I've had zip-loc bags of wild turkey taped to my legs, airplane bottles in my shorts, or even stuffed in the toes of my boots (bought cheap oversized walmart boots specifically to have extra space!).
And for those of us that are more advanced smugglers, I recently found some more ideas, such as:
A seat cushion that actually has a bladder secretly built in: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001N1041A/?tag=buzz0f-20
A clever flask disguised as a bottle of sunscreen: http://www.lighterside.com/product/sunscreen+tube+flask/AdditionalViews.do?sortby=newArrivals
A hairbrush flask: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESYPSHY/?tag=buzz0f-20
And just because it's cool - you could have this at your tailgate and RC control it to deliver beers to everyone without anyone ever needing to get up: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=84433&promo=Home-Living-Kitchen-Entertaining&catid=140
Hopefully they'll eventually start allowing booze sales in the stadium (with something reasonable like a 2 drink maximum for the game - certain people are just too annoying when drunk). Until then, let's help each other with better and better ways of improvising, adapting, and overcoming! Unless it's a UVA fan trying to smuggle in Zima. Then let's get 'em arrested and thrown in the drunk tank.

What is this, buying things to sneak into Lane?
Since when did 'have everyone wear long socks and baggy jeans and have each person stuff 3 airplane bottles on each leg, and in the winter, have a few more looped through your belt, with a flask in your back pocket' stop working?
Oh, and of course the tried, trusted, mother approved 'have your girlfriend sneak everything buried at the bottom of her purse, and make sure to have her place a few tampons on the top, because once a male sees those, they stop looking too hard'.
Shit, I snuck a few unopened cans of beer in before. Granted, I was already pretty hammed when doing so and this was back in '99 - '02 time frame. It was against Pitt and is was cold as shit already, so I just put them in my winter jacket pockets...
There's a right way, a wrong way, and then there's the Max Power way!
Isn't that the wrong way?
Yeah, but faster!
My two favorites were the ladies that would buy oversized bras, and then put a camelbak bladder or Ziploc bags of alcohol using the additional space because how often is a security guard going to do a check up there.
The other one I saw was on the Alumni side, a set of parents came in with their child in his stroller. They then proceeded to take the child out of the stroller, take the handle off the stroller, turn it over and out come twelve minibottles from the frame of the stroller.
The worst way I ever saw was a couple senior cadets my senior year that tried to bring in cans of beer under their uniforms, hoping that the white belts over the dress uniform would keep the beers in place until we reached the stands. The beers proceeded to come out during the march on to the field before the game. Both cadets were dismissed from the Corps, one of which cost him his scholarship that he had to pay back to the Navy.
I'm with Alum07- I always had knee high socks that I would wear under jeans during cold weather games. Each leg could hold about 4 airplane bottles - more if you taped them.
I also had a pair of these Reef's when I was a sophomore - it was pretty cool being able to pour a shot from a flip flop. Too bad these don't exist any more.
My sister has the ones with the bottle opener on the bottom. LOL I even remember seeing
a pair with a secret "stash" drawer in the heel.
I still have a couple of pairs of the bottle opener Reef Fanning flip flops - they come in handy at the beach, or anywhere, when you forget a bottle opener.
Until you step in gum, or something worse.
This is true. Dog crap does not come out easily without a power washer...
I bought these for the Miami game last year and it worked great. Two tubes make a nice strong drink when added to a stadium souvenir cup of soda. My wife and I both agreed on Alum07's point that a male security guard will stop searching when he sees a long slender pouch full of these in a purse. Granted you have to buy replacement wrappers or just bury them amongst the real things.
Side note: I don't remember paying this much for them so they might be pretty popular.

Also, airplane bottles in the work boots is my go-to tactic
Beat me by a minute...and with a strikingly similar user name...
and we're both ridiculously good looking...weird...
Well you're a delicious looking IPA so that's a given

Wait, wait, wait - before we go on any further, should we be posting PUBLICALLY where we hide our alcohol? I mean, do the 5-0 read this?
If so, we may be compromising our only methods of smuggling in booze and would have to resort to further creativity... just a thought.
Oh, uhh... This is a joke thread. No one here drinks obviously. If anyone does drink, they would do it in the comfort of their own home and only speak pleasantries to the opposing team's fans after they had been dropped off at the stadium by a designated driver. I mean if we got too drunk on Saturday there's that possibility that we wouldn't make it to church Sunday morning for our ushering duties.
Never doubt a Hokie for discovering new, creative ways to smuggle alcohol into a game...
A wahoo would fail every time.
Not surprising since Wahoos cannot even manage to smuggle themselves into their games.
You would think they would be good at smuggling, since it has the word "smug" in it.
I carry it in my stomach.
Boobs.
Exactly...never done me wrong.
Carefully
my girlfriend just invested in this thing called a wine-rack look it up. its essentially a sports bra that fills up with alcohol, so shes going to come in very well endowed and leave a lot drunker.
Please tell me the nozzles are where I think they are
Haha nope.

For the men:

25 ounces... That's a lot of bourbon, and boobs
Yep unfortunately wouldn't work for me.
Right...what are we talking about again?
The beer belly or the bra wouldn't work? Or do both?
Yeah neither. LOL
Guessing, in a completely non-creepy way, that you need a larger size.
Yes and there probably wouldn't be enough room for my bourbon
so that just won't work. Airplane bottles in the bra has always worked
just fine.
What about using a jockstrap beneath oversized cargo pants (the strap of course being outside the boxers or briefs)?
Uhh what?? You do know I'm a lady, right?
Sorry I don't own any boxers or jock straps. LOL
Yeah I know. Lol. This wasn't for you, but for the dudes. Obviously it would be an oversized jockstrap in oversized cargo pants.
LMAO!! I gotcha now. Yeah they would definitely
work better for the dudes. :)
I'm not drinking out of a jock strap. Mine or someone else's
I didn't see anybody requesting to drink out of your jockstrap. Calm down.
I put beers in my back pockets
I put an entire camelback of bourbon facing front on my stomach and wore my jacket. Taped the drinking tube to my sleeve. This was during the Matty Ice comeback game when it was pouring rain and everyone was in panchos and jackets. Security was relaxed because they were wet and misreable.
In hindsight, it was an absurd amount of liquor to think about consuming. Security didn't even care when people were suckling from my wrist by about the 3rd quarter.
Usually its just airplane bottles in the socks.
This is a Clown question Bro
Old school time... When I was an undergrad lad, decades ago, I went to the thrift store and bought a really long coat for $10, and sewed socks all along the hem. I put pints into the socks, which were somewhere around midcalf, for any of my fraternity brothers that needed safe passage for the goods. Granted, the five 0 was not as sharp as today, but I sailed through patdowns without ever having to open the coat like clock work.
I even managed to dredge up an actual pic of me in action. Please forgive the glossed over look in my eyes. I tended to over indulge a bit back then.
While we're on the topic I'm glad nobody suggested smuggling it this way
I usually smuggle about 12 beers or so in my stomach...for noon games
it's been so long since we've had a later game that I can't remember how much I'd smuggle in for a 330 game or so
You'd think a name like AssPocketFullOWhiskey would be self explanatory. Not necessarily. It's close, but no cigar. Flask tucked into the small of my back. The key here is Under Armor or the like underwear to hold the flask in place. Fruit of the Loom just ain't gonna cut it. Once I make it to my seat it's APFOW time. My former go to was jeans, long boot socks and airplane bottles. My old long, green Army socks were the key to that one. Could fit at least five in each leg. I like the flask approach because it's cheaper to just fill a flask from bottles and it's less waste. I mean aren't we all trying to be more eco-friendly these days, even when boozing?
your username is how i usually do it, just put the flask in my back pocket and make sure the cap isnt sticking out.
i mentioned this on the other thread but i'll post it again because it's so simple its brilliant. one of our buddies will shove a 750 ml down the front of his pants. when we get in the stadium he buys two large cokes. he heads to the bathroom and dumps one coke and replaces the contents with the liquor. we then have a shot and a chaser for the game. we sat lower sideline row A at maryland in 09 and drank the whole time with security just feet away from us.
cant wait for aug 30.
We used to have an IV bag with the tub attached but with an open end. Tie the tubing around a belt loop and hang it down the inside of your pant leg. At the ACC tourney where we stomped the noles we filled 5 hour bottles and stuffed them in cold weather leggings. Luckily when I had to put my hands out at security they only fell to my knee.
I'll put a 5th (or a soda bottle mixed with liquor) down the crotch of my pants.
Also, one of my roommates had a pair of beernoculars. http://www.amazon.com/Double-Sided-Binocular-Flask-Binoculars/dp/B0021X2...
Shoot, I snuck in a DSLR camera to a few games senior year under my jacket which I was carrying.
They try to crack down on recording devices but it doesn't make much sense because phones and technology and stuff.
For those of you who might say "Hey, there's not alcohol in that camera!" DSLR stands for Digitally Stores Liquid Rum.
The more you know.
Sorry, forgot to include that bit!
I think that this is my favorite I've ever seen at Lane:
I also saw a group of people carry in an inflatable doll, filled with booze. I am still not sure how they got away with it, but we definitely saw people taking "shots" from it and it slowly deflated during the game.
What year was that 'cause that's awesome.
Somewhere in the late 90s/early 2000s
Reminds me of an old story my dad told me about the Browns. Their stadium is referred to as the 'Dawg Pound', so lots of dog related items were brought into the stadium. Before one of the games started there was a stretcher with a doghouse being carried in by four guys, and after the game it was only being carried out by two really drunk guys, and security was curious why. Turns out they built the doghouse just large enough for a keg to fit inside and drank out of there the entire game instead of buying overpriced beer.
Cowboy Boots for $500 please Alex?
The answer's in my screen name.
I find it hilarious that no one has a problem with illeaglly sneaking alcohol into the games, yet about half of the "Should Lane Sell Beer" thread was filled with people who opposed it!
For the record, I'm good with both!
Really!? It looked like the overwhelming majoritah supported it.
1) beer isn't bourbon
2) half the fun is sneaking the bourbon in
floppy flask
I used to tuck it into socks or under my waistband, used hidden pockets in an old coat, had the girlfriend/wife/MIL put it in their bra, ziploc baggies, regular flasks, the binocular flask, and will usually toss a handful of bottles in my hood at colder games. Then I realized that the security folks really don't care. Now, I just put airplane bottles in my pockets and don't act like an asshole.
you went to games with your girlfriend, wife, and mother-in-law? That seems like a recipe for disaster.
Or a really bad reality show... eh, same thing.
