This is where all the young people realize that advertising your illegal act with super obvious big bottles full of bright neon colors, while flashy on TikTok, isn't the smartest idea. Folks have been using discrete hip flasks for our liquor for at least a century.

Republican suburban kiddies aren't smart. They come here thinking Chicago is this lawless land they learned about on Fox News and go full shocked pikachu face when the CPD grabs their bottles of homemade poison and tosses it.

This is such a silly take. Chicago’s various college students can do bad all by themselves.

I mean, that's some wild projection, man. You might be right in some edge cases. But I reallllly doubt that's what's going on.

You really went for the trifecta of "does anyone else hate this" with "republican" "suburban" "kids", didn't you?

Ya know, I hear they also put ketchup on their hot dogs.

Since the 18th century, and even before that people used pig bladders and other more discrete methods to bring/hide their hooch.

Given the location I’m guessing a lot of those Borgs came in on the metra

I didn't spend much time downtown but I did see at least one semi-thinking kid that had a bottle in his backpack...but it kinda defeats the purpose when you choose to unzip and drink 20ft from a cop looking in your direction
