Festivals and alcohol

[LiquidGnome]

I'm going to my first 4-day festival this year (Wilderness).

Being a festival noob, I was surprised to read on the website that there is a strict alcohol limit, including no spirits and only a relatively small amount of beer allowed.

While alcohol isn't the be all and end all for a good festival experience I'm sure, it is a tad annoying that I'm blatantly going to be ripped off by paying £5+ for a pint.

Is this the norm or do some festivals have a more generous limit?

I'm thinking shove some in where the spare wheel would be

That's 3.6 litres of booze!

OP, heard of The Beerbelly?


They also do a WineRack.
"Turn an A cup in to double Ds AND sport your favorite beverage for yourself and your friends! Better than a Boob Job and Cheaper Too! Not to mention the savings on over priced drinks."

Haha, that is fantastic

Not sure if I could live with myself wearing that though :O

Well I've been working on a good pair of moobs so could probably pull this off:

Just returned from Glasto.

Took as much beer/cider/spirits/wine as we could carry.

Don't rub it in

- see my previous post, lost the best part of an ounce of hash at Glastonbury and then spent four days looking for it? Only to find it 12 months later as I was packing up for the next one.

I remember landing into Reading Rock festival after a ride down the A34 from Manchester on a GPZ500s, pulled into to buy the booze, stacked it all on the back seat and could barely keep the front wheel on the ground for the rest of the journey.

I guess it must all be very different now...

Hadn't occurred to me to bike it there...Although I have enough trouble keeping the front wheel down as it is so maybe not

You must have been right chuffed finding that a year later! I'm usually pretty ecstatic if I find a pound in my bike jacket

Booo, and if you will, hiss.

Also, I don't own any wellies.
