I am gonna be watching a play next week and there is no way I am doing it sober. I also don’t wanna get blitzed all at once before the show and slowly crash into the wasteland of reality with time. I would like to slowly and steadily drink during the event.
I am not worried about the part involving sneaking the alcohol in. I will have to figure that out on my own.
My main concern is the choice of alcohol and how to drink it.
On paper, something clear like vodka or white rum mixed in water seems ideal since just by looking one cannot tell it apart from water. But the stench is quite unmistakeable so I am open to suggestions on what to drink.
Regarding how to drink it, the smell of the alcohol makes it a bit difficult to drink while watching. If I pop open my bottle/container the smell might give me away. I really don’t know how people around me would react to that so I wanna avoid that. Other option is to drink in the washroom or something but that would require me to get up every 20-30minutes which seems suboptimal. Maybe if I use one of those sipper bottles I can drink during the show without the drink making contact with open air? Again, open to suggestions on this front too.
As long as you’re watching adults perform, there should be no issue with just bringing a few shooters and adding them to your drinks. Theater people love watching and performing under the influence of alcohol, it’s the oldest theater tradition.
Literally just buy a few double shooters to make mixed drinks and make sure you have a ride home, you’re overcomplicating this any other way. Trying to make alcohol consumption discrete when you know everybody probably smells it and probably doesn’t care about drinking makes you look worse than just drinking.
What’s a shooter?
Edit: nvm found it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooter_(drink)
Like gas station shots.
People buy shots at garages?
Yeah, gas station by my house does 50 cent shots of good vodka. In America, most good liquor stores are also gas stations.
You know there were beer-drinking peasants in the Globe Theater’s cheap seats laughing along to Shakespeare’s comedies. Pay a few pence, BYOB, and enjoy the show. Some things never change.
