Bringing your own alcohol to pubs!

pampers1

Hi people this is my first time posting in AH (I think). Just wondering what everyone thinks of people bringing their own alcohol to the pubs with them. Naggin's of vodka etc. I did it for the first time 3 weeks ago and saved an absolute fortune. I'm still a bit weary of being caught and turfed out with a nice embarassed head on me but Just wondering if its something that's done on a regular basis by loads of people. Apparently its all the rage.

Where do you drink that this is very much the done thing? Tbh if I saw this happening I would think the people involved must be kids...

meet up with some friends in someones house and have a few drinks. You have a laugh and its a great way for everyone to meet up so you all head off together......unfortunatly it may cost you your dignity

I just find this weird and cheap... If I was the bar man/owner I would turf out anyone doing this in the most embarrassingly ott and obvious way I could. Why not just have drinks at home with your friends? Or find a field or something? You are using someones premises, where they pay all the overheads and you reap the cosy craic benefits for free. It is not a crime or anything, but it's just cheap. Yes drink is overpriced in Ireland, but if its too expensive for you dont use the facilities.

True, but I find when I'm sober I get embaressed when I dance on tables and flash my willy at everything and everyone.

Then drink slowly, drink something non-alcoholic or socialise somewhere else.

I don't really like spirits and not as easy to smuggle an 8 pack of Heineken into a pub. Probably should invest in one of these. But on top of my existing beer gut I'd look preggers.

Don't be embarrassed. if you get caught, smile, own up and leave. Then find another bar and repeat!

I know loads of people who buy the vodka, but sneak in their own mixers. That's fair, considering the prices they charge for the mouthful of soft drink.

bit tricky to senak in six cans of beer though.
