To take more alcohol than allowed to Wilderness Festival?

4 day festival with limit of either 12 beers or 2 bottles of wine.

Would I be unreasonable to take more than this measly limit?

I'd have to be creative in my packing and I guess being caught will depend on how thorough their searches are.

Has anyone been that can say a bit about security searches on entry?

Some of the festivals this year are worried that drunk people will stop being sensible about COVID precautions. One I'm going to allows you to bring alcohol, but warns that drunk people risk being asked to leave.

Go ahead the rules don’t apply to people with a strong sense of entitlement!

They're not trying to limit your intake. They want you to spend more money at the bar.

Got any big tittied friends?

Misspent youth.

Ooh a pp gave me an idea. Mouthwash bottle plus food colouring. Maybe a dash of peppermint cordial in the vodka for authenticity?

1L hand sanitiser > vodka.

I bought some suncream tubes especially made to hide alcohol in, they hold 500mls. My only problem was when a man asked if he could have a bit of my factor 50 to stop his kid getting sunburnt.

A nursing friend decanted white wine into a catheter bag and strapped it to her leg. I think the catheter bag was previously unused. No security person is going to challenge someone with a catheter are they?

Lidl were selling special wine bags and rucksacks the other week.

How sad you need booze to enjoy yourself.

Yep. We do this on cruises.

How sad others need to be so judgemental and rude about how other adults spend their time enjoying themselves.

You just sit there and polish your halo

Or your judgey backside

Whichever you prefer.

Girls at my prom duct taped small naggin bottles of spirits to their thighs under neath their dresses 🤣🤣

Boxes of wine. Take the inner pouch out. Discard box. Wrap pouch in foil. Looks like sandwiches or sausage rolls for anyone frisking you. GrinWine

TalkingOutYerArse · 11/07/2021 21:00

Refillable wine bleeders/pouches, stuff them down the waist of your outfit at the back walking in, just wear a raincoat/festival jacket over the top. Same if you fancied chancing taking a bottle of spirits in! If you all managed it, you'll be laughing.

MichelleScarn · 11/07/2021 21:04

@TigersandTeddybears

Empty out the wine bottles, refill with spirits
Now that is a great idea!!

Thankfully the fun police aren't out in force.

The ticket is a couple of hundred, food won't come cheap, a lot of activities are payable, so if I can save a few quid to enjoy a couple of extra beers round the camp with friends, so be it.

Quite right, OP. My camping at festival days are long in the past, but I always preferred using drugs at them because they don't usually make you need to loo as much as booze (easier to store, too) Grin.

A bottle of wine fits nicely in a welly, when not wearing it of course. Just saying.
