the online home of offline nightlife

Everybody knows that tailgating is the only way to enter a football game boozed to your liking � the problem is maintaining that buzz. Of course, we�d prefer to bring our own goods from home rather than break the bank on over-priced stadium drinks but security simply won�t allow it! Fear not, the methods below will help you sneak your liquor past the law.

Duct-tape Flask to Body

The most classic and effective method of sneaking booze into a non-booze area is to simply grab a roll of duct tape and fasten a flask to your inner thigh � a little pain for a lot of gain. The junk is widely known as a security safe-haven; therefore, your odds of success improve exponentially with every inch closer than the last.

Secret Beer Belly

Beer and sports go hand-in-hand so it�s only natural for sports-fans to develop a bit of a beer gut over time. Using this phenomenon to your advantage, feel free to rock the Secret Beer Belly for a drunken day at the ballpark � you�ll blend in like the rest and security will never know the difference.

Seat Cushion Flask

Nobody can blame you for wanting to sit in comfort rather than on raw planks of stadium seating. Reminiscent of a waterbed, these seat cushions can be filled with your booze of choice, leaving you with a padded place to settle and thirst-quenching refreshment all game long. Yes, they may be a bit heavy to begin with, but you�ll no doubt lighten your load by day�s end.

Cell Phone Flask

Keys, wallet, cell phone; the staples carried by everybody, everyday. Simply leave your real phone at home and fill up your phone-flask with your poison of choice. You�ll be able to waltz through security looking no different than the thousands that preceded you with the same three items in their pockets.

Wheel-Chair Decoy

Do your good deed for the year and take a disabled or elderly friend to the ballgame with you. No one needs to know your motives but wheelchairs make for a great place to stash your paraphernalia undetected � the last thing security is going to do is have them stand for a frisking. Everybody wins.

Binocular Flask

If you�re cheap enough to try and sneak booze into a game, chances are good that you�re the type sitting in the nosebleeds. Your shabby tickets are the perfect alibi � fill up the binocular flask and show security your cheap-seat ticket to justify the their use. The lenses won�t necessarily get you a better view of the game but you won�t care much by the time they�re empty.

Belt Buckle Flask

By all means, find a buckle flask that is a bit more discreet than the one pictured but seek the resource nonetheless � small but super handy in a jam. Though volume is inded limited, filing the flask with some 151 or Everclear should keep you plenty warm through the game and well into the night.

Reef Sandals

The creators of the built-in bottle opener on a pair of sandals has now added a stow-away flask variety. Whether you�re at the beach or a ballgame, a pair of Reef sandals will arm you with all of the drunkard paraphernalia necessary to bring your booze with you. Fill up your kicks, hope for a sunny day and enjoy the life of leisure.

Booze in a Bag

Certainly the most brute of the list, if you don�t have a flask, there is always the ever-popular booze in a bag. Much like the archaic practice of taping a flask to your leg, try filling a Ziploc bag and strapping it to your body. Once you�re in the stadium, buy a soda, go in the bathroom and transfer the liquor from the bag to the cup. Tip: keep some of the soda and it becomes a mixer for your cocktail.

Pocket Shots

The latest technological advancement in binge drinking, Pocket Shots are a discreet way to sneak 1.5 oz of liquor into a ballgame, bit by bit. Call it a game of hide-and-go seek; stash shots all across your body and clothes and do your best to find them all. Between your wallet, your shoes and your armpits, there are all kinds of nooks and crannies to smuggle in a shot.

Umbrella Flask

Rain or shine, the umbrella is a legitimate game-day item � keeps you dry in a storm and shaded in the warm. Nobody in his or her right mind will question you for planning ahead. On any given Sunday, you can�t control the elements but that�s all obsolete when you have your special umbrella.

Fake Baby Decoy

Drinking while handling an infant is a dangerous no-no but a fake baby can make a great decoy � the simple distraction of appearing to be a loving caretaker works wonders on security�s perception of you as a threat. Now that you�re on their good side, they�ll never suspect your nestled baby doll is full of the sweet sauce.

The Wine Rack

When all else fails, have your girlfriend be the pack mule. The Wine Rack puts the liquid at the bust line, making it an off-limits "red-zone" for the prodding hands of security officials. Though a safe and effective way to pass easily through the gates, you may have to remind your lady that there is no �I� in team.

Sneaky Shorts

No different than a Camelbak for your hips, the Sneaky Shorts are engineered to conceal your booze like it�s natural water-weight. Best suited for hot summer games, the apparatus dispenses out of the bottom of your shorts, making winter games in Green Bay a poor time to debut the style. In such an instance see the other options on the list.

The Camelbak Backpack

Clearly, this seems the obvious candidate but for good reason. Camelbak backpacks� sole mission is to provide sleek compartments for transfer of liquids � why get too MacGyver with it when there is a company that specializes in such a thing? Originally intended for water, vodka can be easily concealed under bulky sweatshirts and jackets just the same.
