Smuggling alcohol (not sure if this is OS)

In theory :rolleyes:, if one wanted to attend a festival and not want to have to queue at the one and only bar and pay extortionate prices for one's drinks, would it be OS to want to supply one's own alcohol?
Bearing in mind that there will be metal detectors at every entrance, and policemen who will have 'strips' of some sort that they can put into opened drinks containers to check for alcoholic content and then confiscating said alcoholic beverage. I'm not sure if they will be frisking or not.
Not having access to catheter bags, or any other such medical equipment, I can think of one possible way of smuggling a small amount of alcohol in - should I agree to be party to such an unlawful and immoral act of course
.
Am I being OS? Am I being tight? Can you suggest any means of smuggling alcohol in?:p
Please note: all drinks will be consumed responsibly

I usually hide anything I smuggle into cinemas and shows under ah... women's sanitary products in my handbag, and try to make sure its a man who checks my bag if they're checking. It's a rare brave man who'll ask you to remove those from your bag to check underneath!0

Thanks Celyn90. I should have started thinking about this sooner - festival starts tomorrow night. Plenty of time to visit a camping store in the morning though.some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it0

Hi, there! I think this thread may break the Rules of MSE, so I'm going to close it and refer it to the team for advice.
