Is there any way to smuggle alcohol into a cinema

[Jellypot]

The cinemas in my local city doesn't serve alcoholic drinks. I'm not an alcoholic by the way.

I was waiting for the James bond movie for a long time but covid came and it didn't come out. Its been a long year filled with so much shit. I'm not an alcoholic by the way. I do practice drink safety. I don't drink to get drunk. I would like to have some drinks when I go to the cinema. I want to pack my handbag with a bottle with me in my handbag. I want to enjoy some drinks while watching the movie to relax and unwind. I won't be falling out the door drunk.

Last time I was in the cinema my bag was checked or my handbag was taken off me.

Shove the bottle down the front of your jeans. Works every time

These are good.

The plastic glasses they come in are really handy for taking on holiday too.

Our local cinema serves alcohol, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and cake you can take it into the cinema and sit on sofas or really comfy armchairs. I've never taken my shopping bags into a cinema though, and have never had my bag searched in any cinema I've been to.

Well, there's the fake umbrella

Or the fake hair brush

Or a tote bag with a hidden wine bag

Even a boozy bracelet

I’ve never had a bag searched! We went once and had lychee martini’s in water bottles.

When I want to smuggle a few snacks into the water park I hide them under a few menstruation products

Clear alcohol, clear plastic water bottle.

Every teenager knows this.

I worked in a cinema for four years and the only time we ever looked in bags was when the terror alert was high due to a bombing. We didn’t take any food or drink we found then off people either.

The only time we ever turned people away with food was if they were carrying warm food like pizza boxes etc because it would stink out the room and we’d get complaints, apart from that we didn’t care. This was a big city centre cinema too.

It wasn’t a handbag though was it, it was a bag full of shopping

There’s some properly sneery people on this thread. I find this side of mumsnet quite unpleasant.

Yep. That's life.... They're out and about too wherever you go. I ignore them. Makes life so much more pleasant.

Op, every cinema around mine has a bar and maybe even a restaurant next door attached to it. (I'm not in UK).

I just sometimes drop a wee dram or 2 of rum into a bottle of coke if going "out". Saves on expenses.

Always have a bottle topped up with tap water daily with me.

Last time I went to my local cinema nearly all the adults had alcohol from their bar. The gabby woman next to my husband fell asleep before the film, we were happy.

I've always packed my bag with goodies not alcohol and never been checked. I wouldn't allow them to take my bag.

I love the cinema experience. Not a £4 pack of minstrels experience though!

Always take my own food and drink!

Aldi has your back.

Fill an empty bottle with your alcohol of choice? 😂 it won’t look classy whatever you choose to do!

Is this a joke OP? How totally sad. You want AA, not the cinema.

If you’re not allowed drinks at all then buy a bottle of medicine, wash and empty, fill with rum and put in your handbag. Then buy a coke at the cinema and add the rum.

I love a glass of wine at the cinema, and I maybe drink once a month so give over with the alcoholism accusations- you have nowhere near enough context for that.

If they don’t sell alcohol then don’t take it in. You are not talking about one drink but a few by them sound of it. If you can’t manage a 2 hour film without drinking then wait until you can watch it at home. Otherwise find a Vue Cinema who do serve alcohol.

I think it’s disgusting how so many people are giving ideas to OP on how to best snuggle alcohol in. If the cinema has a no alcohol policy then adhere to it or don’t go?

I bet it would be a whole different thread if someone came on ranting about how a person drinking in the cinema ruined their movie!

Can people not manage 2 hours in the cinema without alcohol or a picnic 🤣

smuggle

Exactly @Barton10

Oh the judgey wee people are out in force with this one, ha ha ha ha. I can almost see the wee pursed up faces

I can't remember the last time I went to a dry cinema. Odeon, Curzon, etc, sell drinks. I have a glass of wine watching a film at home. It's part of the pleasure of the theatre or cinema. Obviously not in the afternoon.

People who say 'I'm not an alcoholic by the way' twice whilst planning now to smuggle a bottle of wine into the cinema might want to examine their relationship with alcohol just a little bit more closely

Either that or the cinema is driving you to drink and you might want to examine your relationship with films more closely.

If you're over 60 they never check . Get aged up!

@Mojoj well yes because I wouldn’t want to be sat near OP drinking away while I’m trying to enjoy my movie that I’ve paid for. Rules are rules for a reason.
