Bringing a flask to a game...

Nope. I consider it sticking it to the man. Many consider it unethical. I consider it unethical to charge $8 for a beer or $4 for a Coke or a box of Junior Mints. We always bring our own snacks to the movies.

Do you guys consider brining a flask to a game cheap?

I did a lot of this in college. Everyone else(students) did it too. Frankly it should be allowed with today's ticket prices. I really can't see $8 for a freakin' beer. Sort of takes away the flavor. I'd do it in a heartbeat. Screw them, that's what they're trying to do to you.

How about smuggling popcorn into the theater? Talk about contraband!

I've done that. Theater popcorn is lousy and lousy for you. I've brought in a ziploc bag of air-popped stuff from home.

As long as it's not expressly forbidden or illegal, then go for it.

I'd much rather have a mixed drink than a beer anyways.

You just don't want to get caught and get thrown out of the game.

I do the same all the time. They make $4 off the coke mixer anyways so it's a win situation for both.

Actually at good ol' Fort Hays State, I think its a requirement. Frugal is never wrong. Rum?

haha. I was actually just looking for a flask today to bring with me to a college football game in two weeks. They don't serve alcohol in the stadium, but I don't really do it to get drunk. (The 3 hours of tailgating prior takes care of that for me) I do it because it warms you up pretty quickly. Plus they don't sell beer inside this particular stadium.

Wife and I always sneak drinks and snacks into the movies. Harder in the summer but in the winter it's easy with big coats and purses.

I don't do it in restaurants or bars though. That seems unethical to me.

I hope you realize that this is a huge myth. Drinking alcohol actually lowers your body temperature. If you are out at a football game on a cold day, the last thing you want to be doing is drinking alcohol. Coffee or tea or hot chocolate yes, but not alcohol.

I didn't know that. I knew the coffee and tea thing, yes. But I figured the same thing was true for the alcohol since it tends to be calorie dense.

Disneysteve, If you had ever seen FHSU play football, you would start drinking too!

I never said you shouldn't drink.

I just said you shouldn't drink to stay warm because it actually does just the opposite.
