I am gonna be watching a play next week and there is no way I am doing it sober. I also don't wanna get blitzed all at once before the show and slowly crash into the wasteland of reality with time. I would like to slowly and steadily drink during the event.

I am not worried about the part involving sneaking the alcohol in. I will have to figure that out on my own.

My main concern is the choice of alcohol and how to drink it.

On paper, something clear like vodka or white rum mixed in water seems ideal since just by looking one cannot tell it apart from water. But the stench is quite unmistakeable so I am open to suggestions on what to drink.

Regarding how to drink it, the smell of the alcohol makes it a bit difficult to drink while watching. If I pop open my bottle/container the smell might give me away. I really don't know how people around me would react to that so I wanna avoid that. Other option is to drink in the washroom or something but that would require me to get up every 20-30minutes which seems suboptimal. Maybe if I use one of those sipper bottles I can drink during the show without the drink making contact with open air? Again, open to suggestions on this front too.

    What's the play? I've been to a lot of plays and the vast majority of them I had no desire to see, actively dreaded losing those 2-3 hours of my life, yet almost always came out enjoying.

    Of course it could just be truly awful.

      I really have no idea. I just know the name.

      Where I live is culturally pretty dead. There is an "art festival" every year where stuff like this happens. I'm just going for the novelty.

        Ah I see. Amateur dramatics. I would load a couple of bottles of red wine into one of those platypus water backpacks and get utterly rat-arsed in that case.

          It's not amateur theatre. The performers are professionals (not to be confused with good) but performers like them only come here once a year.

          I went to one of these in the past as well and they had a prominent Bollywood actor performing. I don't like movies but it was cool to see for once.
