If you need to get alcohol into festivals – If you want to hide alcohol, simply empty a tube or bottle of lotion and refill with booze. Or if you want to be really crafty, and probably safer, put your booze in a food bag and push to the bottom of the bottle.
That way if they open it up and sniff it or look at it, there will still be sunscreen on the top to throw them off the scent. You could just adapt your own sunscreen bottle, or buy these from Amazon. This is one of the best ways to hide alcohol when you’re trying to get the booze into the festival. Same idea, different smuggling vessel.
Just add a food bag filled with booze in the bottom – weighs less than bottles – and stack a few Pringles on top. Sneaky. This is how to sneak alcohol into a festival on the cheap, and you get to eat some tasty Pringles too.
- TOP TIP: All these tips and tricks for smuggling alcohol into festivals can totally be used to sneak alcohol into a concert and to sneak booze into a club.
- All you need to do is keep that alcohol hidden and discrete.
- I’ve been to 49 different festivals in 19 countries, I know what I’m talking about when it comes to getting alcohol into festivals!
Buy the boxed wine – which I like to call ‘cardboardeaux’ – and take the bag out. Then just put it down your trousers as a voluptuous bum, or in your top as a squidgy belly. Dress discreetly and accordingly. Or buy these where you don’t even need to bother binning the box, they come ready bagged and waiting to be filled with a helpful straw for sucking.

How do I not smell like alcohol?
Six of the quickest ways (that work) to eliminate alcohol smells in the breath – Most of the odors coming from the breath of a drinker are deeper than just a lingering mouth smell, like when drinking some cherry drink, they emanate from the chemical reactions and bacteria in the lungs, throat and mouth -as we’ve already established here.
- And therefore, completely removing the smell from someone who is well-tuned to the smell or someone actively sniffing close-up for any hints of alcohol, is not fully realistic.
- But by utilizing certain solutions, we can expect to greatly override any smells passing through or emitting from the mouth.
The following tricks can help get rid of or greatly reduce smelly breath relatively fast:
Drinking plenty of water: While drinking water may not seem like an obvious way to eliminate bad breath, it will help flush alcohol out of the body through urination and wash away odor-inducing bacteria. Adding a little salt can also help get rid of as much unwanted bacteria as possible. That is, besides for the obvious reduction in mouth dryness and accompanying odor which oral rinsing and general hydration accomplish. Eating peanut butter: Peanut butter has a rather potent, deep scent and is known to help conceal alcohol breath. Drinking coffee: On top of counteracting some of the cognitive effects of drinking such as fatigue, drinking (strong) coffee can help with bad bacteria and mask the smell of alcohol on the breath. Even more effective, taking a quarter of a spoon of coffee powder and swishing it all around in the mouth for 20-30 seconds, and then swallowing the coffee filled saliva, leaves a very potent smell of coffee. (Yes, it’s bitter for a minute, but so is a shot of Vodka) While some people dislike the smell of coffee breath, it may help the drinker avoid even more difficult conversations about alcohol consumption. Drinking lemon water: Lemon contains citric compounds that help tackle toxins in the body and eliminate the smell of alcohol on the breath. The lemon’s acidity will also help eliminate oral bacteria which built up with drinking as well as reduce feelings of nausea. The more lemon in the mixture, the more effect. Eating parsley: Parsley is an antibacterial plant with deodorizing effects. As such, it can help kill bacteria and reduce the smell of booze on the breath. While some people may not want to eat parsley fresh from the stalk, it can be added generously to a wide range of dishes. Brushing the teeth and mouth and using mouthwash: Oral hygiene alone will not completely get rid of alcohol breath and may even hint that a person is attempting to hide a smell on their breath. But minty, quality toothpastes and mouthwashes -when used properly- can indeed help wash away unwanted bacteria in the mouth and throat, thereby reducing odors. It is very important to brush all parts of the mouth, including the tongue and cheeks, and to gargle at the throat for about 30 seconds, to ensure the cleaning targets all areas where bacteria can grow.

Why can’t I smell when I’m drunk?
Credit: @2015Chips, Creative Commons Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol can wreak havoc on the organs, but what do these two vices do to the senses? Considering what’s known, overdoing it presumably damages a person’s sense of smell and taste. It’s a warning most health websites echo and many studies continue to back up.
However, the work of Richard Doty, PhD, the director of the Penn Smell and Taste Center, along with colleagues at Harvard University, suggests it may be more nuanced. In a recent study in BMJ of over 3,500 men and women, Doty, Harvard’s Gang Liu and their colleagues found that many heavy drinkers had impaired taste but not smell, while most light to moderate drinkers were left unscathed and even fared better on smell tests than people who didn’t drink.
Though past studies by Doty and others blame smoking for disrupting the senses, this time, that wasn’t the case. “Interestingly,” he said, “there is some evidence that the bad habit of smoking may ultimately protect, to some degree, people’s sense of smell.” Those are just a few unexpected observations from this large and most current representative study of taste and smell issues in Americans.
It’s based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a periodic assessment of the nation’s health conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). To gauge smelling abilities, the NIH relied on the widely used Pocket Smell Test, which has people sniff chocolate, strawberry, smoke, leather, soap, grape, onion and natural gas.
Failing to identify six out of those eight odors indicated a problem. Taste impairment was defined as failing to correctly identify a bitter taste (quinine) or salt. Altogether, the BMJ authors estimated that 43 million Americans over the age of 40 suffer from smell and/or taste problems, and that they are linked to a slew of factors, including ethnicity, age, cardiovascular disease and history of cancer and asthma.
- Check out the full study to read more about these influences.
- Among the bigger drivers behind taste problems was heavy amounts of alcohol.
- Consuming more than four drinks of alcohol a day was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of taste impairment compared to people who didn’t drink.
- Anything less than that didn’t raise any red flags.
Alcohol seems more forgiving on the nose. All drinkers were less likely to have a smell impairment, the data showed. In fact, light to moderate drinkers were significantly less likely to have a smell problem compared to people who didn’t drink, which suggests that casual drinking may even protect the sense of smell, Doty said.
When people drink, the alcohol activates the receptors in their nose or on their taste buds, triggering nerve fibers connected to the brain to generate an experience: “Ah, that’s fruity,” or “Hmm, that’s hoppy.” It is possible the amount of alcohol consumed has a distinct effect on the nerve endings that mediate smell and taste, or what the authors call people’s “chemosensory perception.” It may explain why taste was impaired in heavy drinkers and light drinkers were less likely to have smell issues.
“We think any damage is occurring in these nerve fibers and receptors or cells associated with the senses,” Doty said. “Although, we now know that alcoholism and poor diet that leads to thiamine deficiency (vitamin B1) can also damage central brain regions important for both smell and memory.” The smoking data was the most surprising, Doty said.
It has long been reported that the habit can affect both smell and taste. His own study in 1990 in JAMA found that higher levels of smoking affected smell, and a 2014 study published in the journal Chemosensory Perception found that smoking can dull taste buds. The results in the BMJ study, however, suggest that smoking does not always adversely impact the ability to smell, and that other factors, such as amount of smoking, sex, age, and genetic predispositions, may be involved.
This isn’t the first time findings like this have surfaced. The paper pointed to another cross-sectional study from researchers in Spain who reported in 2012 in BMJ “that smoking and exposure to noxious substances were even mild protective factors for smell recognition.” Another study from Doty, published in Movement Disorders in 2015, found that current smokers with Parkinson’s disease outperformed those with Parkinson’s who never smoked on a smell identification test with 40 different odors.
Other studies have found that smoking may decrease the risk of Parkinson’s in the general population, suggesting the possibility that nicotine may have some neuroprotective qualities. “Damage to the nicotinic neurotransmitter system is one of the better correlates to a wide range of disorders,” said Doty, who has treated over 6,000 patients since the early 1980s, when the Smell and Taste Center opened at Penn.
“Nicotine stimulates that system. Conceptually, if that system gets stimulated more, it may protect against damage that ultimately may be causing sensory problems and even some neurological diseases.” Doty isn’t advocating for smoking, but the work does support further research to better understand the BMJ data as well as to find new, non-addictive ways to potentially treat patients with nicotine or some similar compound, he said.

How to pretend to be drinking alcohol?
Download Article Download Article Do you find yourself in situations in which social drinking is expected? If you can’t or don’t drink for any reason, the best option is to simply tell your friends and acquaintances. But if you don’t feel comfortable with this, there are a few ways to make it appear to others that you’re drinking alcohol without actually having to.
- 1 Order a mocktail. If you’re at a bar, order a mocktail by simply asking for any special alcoholic drink to be made “virgin.” For example, ask for a “virgin pina colada” or a “virgin margarita.” Or, simply ask for a drink like the Shirley Temple, which is a non-alcoholic cocktail made with citrus soda and grenadine.
- 2 Get a soda instead of a mixed drink. Order any kind of soda at the bar, which will look the same as a mixed alcohol drink. Order Coke to look like a rum and Coke, or get Sprite or soda water to look like a gin and tonic or vodka tonic, for example. Ask for a straw, too, and a lemon or lime wedge if it’s a clear soda. You may also want to ask for it in a short glass. Advertisement
- 3 Order a ginger ale to look like beer. Ask for a ginger ale, without ice, in a pint glass to make it appear like a draft beer.
- 4 Order a non-alcoholic beer. Ask for a non-alcoholic beer at the bar, and have them pour it into a glass so people don’t see the label.
- 5 Drink grape juice to look like wine. Order or pour your own apple or white grape juice into a wine glass to look like white wine, regular grape juice to look like red wine, or sparkling white grape or pear juice to look like champagne.
- 6 Drink soda or juice in a bottle. If you’re at friend’s house or house party, bring along a regular soda, juice, or tea bottle and drink from that, explaining to anyone who asks that it’s mixed with alcohol.

- 1 Pour out a beer and fill it with water. Take a beer bottle or can with you to a restroom and dump the contents down the sink or toilet. Then refill it with water from the tap and drink that instead. No one will be able to see the difference through the brown bottle or metal can.
- Be sure to rinse the bottle or can out at least once before you fill it with the water you intend to drink, to get rid of any residual alcohol in the bottle or can.
- 2 Slowly empty a drink. If you have an alcoholic drink, hold onto it and, very occasionally, find opportunities to get rid of a small amount at a time. Pour some into the sink in the bathroom, a trash can nearby, or someone else’s finished drink cup. Don’t get rid of too much at a time, or leave too often to empty it.
- Put your mouth to the drink occasionally without actually drinking any so it doesn’t look suspicious that your drink is disappearing on its own.
- Tell a friend (or several), “Mmm, this is good, try this!” and have them take a sip so your drink disappears faster.
- 3 Spit alcohol into another bottle. If you have a drink with alcohol, keep a water, soda, or tea bottle nearby. Take a sip of the alcoholic drink, but hold it in your mouth without swallowing. Keep it there for at least 30 seconds, then pretend to drink from the other bottle, instead backwashing the alcohol into it at the end. Explain that you’re just trying to hydrate and avoid a hangover, if anyone asks.
- 4 Fake taking a shot. If you’re offered a shot of alcohol, pour it out in a trash can, plant, or empty cup when no one is looking or while others are doing their shots. Hold your hand around the shot glass to disguise that there’s nothing in it, then pretend to take the shot.
- If you can’t get away with pouring the shot out, take it but don’t swallow it. Reach for a soda bottle (preferably your own personal one) and pretend to drink from it as a chaser, backwashing the alcohol from your mouth instead.

- Question Will people be fooled if I bring a flask filled with water and pour some into my drink? They might be, but you run the risk of someone asking to taste it. If they ask to smell it, just tell them it’s vodka, which is pretty much odorless.
- Question How can I make sweet tea look like a tropical drink? If it’s in a glass, put an ounce or so of grenadine in the bottom, and then use a spoon to gently pour the tea over top of the grenadine.
- Question I work at a nightclub where I get paid to party. I’m short and dislike the taste of alcohol. Clients order both their drink and mine. How do I get a soda without being mistaken for an underage person? If you know what they are ordering for you or they order the same one every time for you, try to find a soda that has a similar color and when they are not looking, or when you go to the bathroom, hurry and throw the alcohol and switch it with the soda. Otherwise, be straight up and tell them you’re straight when it comes to drinking and only want non-alcoholic drinks.

- If you need an excuse for why you’re not drinking, say you’re driving that night, you’re taking medication that you can’t mix with alcohol, or you have to get up early the next morning. You will have to come up with new excuses if you continue to use them with the same friends.
- Act like you’ve been drinking, too, by talking a little louder, laughing more, or dancing. Keep it subtle without overdoing it; a good level of drunk or tipsy behavior is matching whatever those around you are doing. Chances are that the fun, loud actions of others who are drinking will almost be contagious, making you act more like them naturally.
- It’s always easier to just tell peers that you’re not drinking rather than go through the work of pretending. Most people are understanding and don’t mind if someone chooses not to drink.

- Don’t let anyone pressure you to drink alcohol. If it’s someone you consider a friend, maybe they are not such a good friend after all if they’re trying to force you to do something you can’t or don’t want to do.
- People can get upset if they catch you lying or pouring out alcohol, especially if they paid for it. Choosing not to accept a drink and being truthful about opting for something non-alcoholic is safer.
- If you are a minor under the legal drinking age, you can get into serious trouble for drinking alcohol or even being at a party or bar where alcohol is served.
- If you fake drinking alcohol, there is always a risk that you’ll get caught and you won’t be able to, believably, explain your way out of it. If this happens, admit that you lied, apologize, and say that you’re actually not a drinker.
Advertisement Article Summary X To pretend to drink alcohol, try pouring out your drink and replacing it with water if you’re drinking out of a can or dark bottle. Or, if you’re drinking something out of a clear glass, slowly empty your drink when no one is paying attention so it looks like you’ve been drinking it.
