Isn't 'Dry Wedding' and oxymoron?

How in the hell is one supposed to get 'weddin drunk' at a DRY WEDDING for chrissakes?
I vote for the camelback. Fill 'er up, and just come up with some medical reason for the hump on your back....Or perhaps hide it in one of those pull along oxygen tank baskets some of the really old people use. Modify the face mask/oxygen tubes into a booze delivery system....No one will begrudge you your life saving "oxygen".

Shit, you're gonna need at least 4 flasks...Will your date carry a couple for you?

good luck! :-)

A Camelbak will not survive many boozings.

They kick ass for hydration, but they're tough to clean. And do NOT EVER put beer in them. They get funky in about 6 seconds.

I had a shot of WT 101 right before I got married. My bride was irate- because she was undrunk. Luckily, she soon rectified that. I'd seen kegstands before... but never a champagne-fountain stand.

k37,

I've got a question.

As I can't think of too many people, outside of family, who would invite me to a dry wedding, am I correct in assuming this is a family (your own or in-law) affair?

If so, I can understand the need to attend, but also -- with family and/or in-law relations being what they sometimes are -- your possible need to get juiced; if only for self-preservation.

No matter, good luck to you!

Clarify for me.


Is this a dry wedding in that they dont have a bar.


or is it a dry wedding in that they don't ALLOW alcohol?


Both seem sort of odd but...

I agree with MOL - avoid it if you can. I got dragged to a dry wedding down in Virginia once and it was probably the lamest event I have ever been to. I think we ended up sneaking out to the parking lot to have a few drinks from the bottle, but that didn't really help since there wasn't much "fun" going on anyway. I think my hatred of Virginia is due to this wedding.

Am thinking 2 hip flasks. However, I'll have to plan the purchase (probably online somewhere) of some stronger than average booze. I very rarely see anything over 40% abv in shops. and given the limited capacity (~500ml) of my flasks (and the practicalities of carrying them), the stronger the better. I probably won't have a chance to refill unless I can come up with a devious plan (unlikely).

I could probably mix the stuff, so it doesn't need to be the greatest tasting booze - potency is what will count...
Oh for F's sake just show up at the church and not the reception. Give the required present/money with the apology that they were all lucky the church didn't fall down on their heads because you attended.

If they object then ask them, "Isn't the most important part the ceremony?"

I forgot, then show up at the nearest gin-joint and toast the bride and groom. If you are really polite and discreet, letting everyone know where you've been - most will come to join you.

I haven't read all of the replies so if this is a repeat of other advice...

GOOD!!!!!!!!

Getting totally smashed at events that are supposed to be "dry", is a hell of time.

Don't pretend you don't remember how fun it was to pound room temperature vodka before highschool dances, the same concept applies to movie theatres (also an excellent place to defy smoking bans), dry weddings, and mormon baptisms.
