    These are useful for sneaking alcohol onto cruise ships.

        Oh yeah, one time I forgot to remove wine from my luggage (you are allowed to bring 2 bottles but it has to be removed and checked at boarding). They took the wine and left us a note in our state room that it would be available at the restaurant if we wanted to drink it for a corkage fee.

          Yes, but they have drink packages you can buy. If you intend to drink a lot, you get the package. Can’t speak for all cruise lines, but the ones I’ve been on have different levels where you get drinks up to a certain cost for free, like $12 a drink. That price and below are free, anything above it you pay the difference. Higher levels cover a higher price per drink.

        Yes and no. Kind of the same deal as the what the TSA does. Your luggage will get scanned via X-ray or whatever, then it’s up to the person looking at the monitor to determine if it needs to be opened or not.

    The reason things like this are made is to sneak alcohol past security. I use them at concerts. Seriously I can buy a half gallon of Jager for what 2 mixed drinks cost at a show. I don’t even want to get hammered, I just want to watch some bands I like and have a good time without it costing me a small fortune.

    Or maybe you don’t give a shit about what you’re “known as”?

    Or maybe the intention is that no one sees you drinking out of it?

    Maybe you just want to avoid paying the completely unjustified scam 1000% markup for drinks at venues?

    It’s actually useful for drinking on the beach. In my area the cops are supremely dickish about any type of mixed drink or alcohol on beaches.
