To each his own and I must say I am not averse to my favorite adult beverages at the time I choose to partake, but I have never once been tempted to use alcohol during an Auburn game.
I drink before at the tailgate and I drink after at the tailgate. During? For some reason, it holds no interest for me.
I just don't allow anything to distract from the game itself. I wouldn't even take my own kid until I was satisfied that he would be capable of sitting through the game without me having to tend to his needs every second of the game (I think that was about the time he started playing football himself, around 7 years old).
Like I said, enjoy your drink. I likes'em myself. I even have a few while I'm watching on TV. But I just don't drink while I am actually at the game.

I put a 5th in my wifes purse one time walking into TS. Lady at the gate looked in her purse, moved the bottle over to look under it, and handed it back.

He got kinda screwed by the addition. A cop saw the reflection of him pouring a drink in the new windows on the boxes. Asked him if these were his season tickets, and luckily he wasnt drunk enough to say yes.

I would've said yes

You realize that's exactly why the bottle is curved like that, don't you? It's so people could sneak booze in their boots. That's where the term "bootlegging" comes from.
You retroactively "discovered" the purpose of the invention.

He almost did, and then the repercussions of that came into his mind.

What can I say? When I enter Jordan-Hare, I'm into the game and not the trappings.
And, now that I think about it, that's the only place I act that way.
The Georgia Dome (Chick-Fil-A games)? I drink.
The BCS Championship Game? I drank.
Other bowl games? I drank.
J-H? Nada.
My theory is that the learned behavior drilled into my genetics from four years of the Auburn University Marching Band cannot be broken.

From my experiences at Alabama, if you are going in the SS and don't look like you are in a frat, they won't really pat you down. I usually wore shorts and a t-shirt to games. Some of my friends would try to dress up for the games. They would always get patted down and I could walk right in. Outside of the SS it's real easy to sneak them in.

For Auburn, personally if you are not a student, it is too easy. They don’t really check guys at all. I have walked in with beers in my pockets and/or at least 10 mini bottles. Security will look in the women’s purses or bags, buts that’s about it.
Now for the students, it's a whole other story. They get patted down and checked very well. Either have the ladies hide it or you have to tuck into the crotchal regions.
Agreed. Now it's beyond simple. But as a student we'd put those silly tiger tails on that you see hanging out of cars. We looked fricking stupid but the beauty of those things is that they're hollow on the inside and you can fill them up with minis and you can make it though even the most serious of pat downs without batting an eye.
That way too the bottles weren't covered with crotch sweat (or sweat of any kind) from waiting in those long lines

You barely have to hide it at state. One time, I accidentally walked in with a clear cup of beer. Nobody said a thing. No one will say a thing to you anywhere in town for having a cup with anything in it that day but it is against the law. I don't think they even pat students down at the games. At least they didn't when I was there. They give purses a half-arse search.

I wish more young parents were like you.

Well, I'm not a young parent.
That kid is 21 now and a student at Auburn.

I usually don't drink during the games either. But, that's just to give myself a chance to sober up a bit so I can drink after the game.

In the past at Vanderbilt the attitude has been to do anything to get people into the stadium. In one really bad year we had cops encouraging us to bring our handle of Kentucky Tavern, even hung out with us in the student section while we mixed out drinks.
I've been to 10 of 14 stadiums and can say with certainty that at Vandy there are more empty liquor bottles on the ground per student than anywhere else.
As far as getting it into Vanderbilt Stadium and keeping it...
Student Section: Use a little more discretion, but no one really gets patted down, purses are checked, sit a little higher up because the teetotallers and GDI's in the first few rows might tattle.
Visiting section: No pat downs, purses checked, just don't make asses of yourselves.
Alums, rest of stadium: Same deal goes on entry, maybe a little easier. Fun game to play with security is reuse a stadium cup from the last game, tell the ticket folks you're throwing it away in the trashcans they set out for you and when they turn their head to scan the next ticket walk on in. Many mix their drinks in the restroom but there usually isn't a problem doing it in your seat as long as you are discreet.
Tailgating: Wet campus, if you are underage, put it in a cup. Glass bottles are frowned upon, but usually left alone. If you're friendly, some folks will even offer you a drink.
Off-campus: Don't even think about it. Even around the bars and honky-tonks, Metro cops will wait for you to walk out with that open container.

I got kicked out of the egg bowl this past year for having a flask. Maybe its because I'm an ole miss fan though.
