Sneaking drinks into the ballpark
First of all, I'd like to say that if beer didn't cost a ridiculous amount at the ballpark, I wouldn't condone this. But, as it stands, I just can't pay the ballpark prices for alcohol.
So, I've developed some tricks over the last few years. If you want to sneak bottles in, then I found baggy clothes, especially on a girl, usually does the trick. The only caveat is that you DON'T want to do this on a Wednesday game as they do a much better job searching you. Gordon Biersch bottles are good to bring in since they have plastic bottles for sale at the park that look almost identical.
The next trick which I've used at a fair number of events, not just ball games, is the zip-loc bags full of vodka or rum in cargo pockets. Double bag to make sure it doesn't leak, then when you get in, buy a lemonade or coke, mix, and enjoy! $4 for a soda isn't as hard to swallow.
Finally, and really the reason for this diary, is this invention that a friend just alerted me to. It's brilliant and funny:
I haven't tried it out yet, though on my long and lean frame, I'd probably look like a pregnant dude.
So, what have you guys/girls done to sneak in drinks? Any tips/funny stories of being caught/warnings?

Mike's Hard Lemon-Ade in a water bottle and
P.S. That is NOT the delicious beverage I was and will be enjoying at AN Day 2/3. Repeat...NOT.<burp>
get a blue nalgene water bottle
The baggy shirt/jersey trick is underrated, ...
Warnings/getting caught? Only once the girls we were with used their empty mix drink cups to play flip cup in the picnic area once we moved on to beer.
Unless you go on discount beer night, it's tough to tie one on at the ballpark. I'll probably continue to bootleg booze into the stadium, probably as soon as two weeks from now when the A's go to the Jake.
Maintaining...
Flask at the bottom of the purse.
Also, putting a flask or small bottle of booze inside a box of tampons: the ultimate female weapon.
"No. It's Oakland."
Oh my god.
Woman Power!
would that work better or worse ...
water bottles work
This is an excellent diary
Also, for those not into the baggy look, a deftly placed pint of the hard stuff in the old whitey-tighties can only enhance the maleness of one's crotchal demeanor, while providing more than enough alco-beverage to get totally soused. Just don't tell anyone where its been.

do you work for BART?

Water Bottles?
Actually
And no, I don't work for BART. It's just that the trains are usually pretty packed when I get to go to games, so the cops don't really take much notice of a guy drinking something out of a can.

Garbage can? Or did you mean 'can' as in...
That's funny, I didn't take you for a dumpster diver. But I bet you find all kinds of barely used good stuff in that gated community of yours. Is that where you got all your shoes?
Ok, you know I'm joking, right?
i know you are joking
