More than bb.ouo people usually snow up
at Williams-Brice Stadium on a football
Saturday to watch the Gamecocks play. And
parh r?f Hinsp fans hnlHs a tirkpf f hatPXtllains
the state law prohibiting alcoholic
beverages in the stadium.
Yet, hundreds of people reportedly bring
alcohol into the stadium, and most don't get
caught.
Chief Joseph Dorton, of the state
Aicononc Beverage ana control tornmission,
said people employ a variety of
ways to bring alcohol into football games.
"Females put it in their pocket books and
distribute it to their friends. Some folks use
mini-bottles ? the most popular way ? and
others use flasks. Some pu* it in the hip
pockets of their jeans; some even use
hollowed-out walking sticks," he said.

that her name not be used, agreed. "Girls
slick mini-bottles in their pocketbooks.
When they get in, they'll drink it or give it to
their boyfriends. I've also seen people with
hollow wooden canes who fill them up with
mini-bottles," she said.
A FEMALE sophomore, who asked to
remain anonymous, said: 44 Some guys will
tuck a mini-bottle into their socks and get in
like that. A lot of them hide it in their coat
pockets. If they're carrying their coat when
they walk in, they just wrap the container
inside the coat."
A1 Gooding, a local grocery store assistant
manager and a Century Club contributor,
said hp's seen some unusual smuggling
attempts.
"At tailgate parties, I've seen people
inject vodka into oranges, and they bring
the oranges into the stadium and suck the
alcohol out. Western wear has answered the
prayers of some people. You can put_a pint

or half-pint bottle down the inside of a boot
or stick a container in the pouch on the inside
of one of those cowboy hats," he said.
"There's also something called 'imitation
binoculars/ All that is is a black flask that
looks just like binoculars that's filled up
with alcohol ? and you can get some alcohol
in there. People think you're looking out of
them, at first, when you're really taking a
drink. You can buy one of those at a novelty
shop," he said.
ACCORDING to Dorton, such things
are likely to continue: "There's no way to
check 56,000 people. We operate on the
premise that if we see something
questionable or smell it ? like coming from
a cup ? then we will investigate.
"If the person is from out of state, say,
and not aware of the law, then we'll let him
get rid of it ? pour it out, throw it away,
return it to his car. If he appears to know the
rules, then we'll arrest him. Those are just
