To each their own. For me, I wouldn't bring "booze". I would go with something like White Claw hard seltzer in cans. Booze is something I prefer to enjoy while savoring the moment. Hard to savor the moment at a concert. Besides I would be concerned with driving afterwards.
Oh you party animal you.
What are they like? I saw them in my regular shops a while back but figured it was regular seltzer with more "bite" to it and not alcohol. I'll sometimes use SpinDrift or San Pelligrino's seltzers on top of gin or vodka for a lightened up drink.
During a concert? No. I still recall a Muse concert in 2006 when with a bunch of friends we went to a bar - went to the concert - returned to the bar.
I would drink at the beach or picnic if not driving. I won't make the mistake I did a couple of years back chugging some beer on the shore of Lake Issy Kul in Kyrgyzstan, 1,607 metres (5,272 ft), on a hot day in August.

I have a leather jacket that still has the marks from beer raining down in it during an Oasis gig back in 2009 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff lol. Probably a mixture of lager and urine but had a great time! It was £5 a pint back then.
I vaguely remember christening people with one of those large Stoli bottles full of vodka back in university. Knowing me back then, it's likely my memory of what I did is wholly accurate. Definitely don't remember what the event was. I'm sure it's different now, but it wasn't hard to get the rozzers to partake in the drinking and skirt their duties back then.

Oh, I don't know. A cool beer on a warm day isn't bad.
Well, yes it's great just hasn't eaten anything and was a bit dehydrated and didn't expect the alcohol to affect me as much as it did at that altitude. Lesson learned, snacks are essential.
Dear Gentle Reader,
Again, it’s uncouth to swig in public before 9 am without the brown paper bag. However, this diplomatic code does not apply in public parks or parked cars.

Oh, yeah, hell on earth that. Or the day after heavy-ish drinking where you don't eat or consume water. You're not having a hangover, but every joint in your body aches. Seems to have amplified with age.
In university there was a nice mom and pop restaurant that served some of the best tarama you could imagine having, even though it may be sinful for me to even suggest such a thing to you. Worked well with toasted bread and cold drinks. Sometimes they'd operate late into the night on Fridays and Saturdays with the door closed and serve anyone wanting some greasy but wholesome food.
By the time I began my masters program they got out because a developer offered them a large mountain of money to close up. There's a few places still around but they've changed several owners and doesn't taste the same.

I knew a guy who used to ride motorcycles; traveling, motocross, enduro, trial etc. It just so happens he was also a bit of a booze hound.
Anyway, for the longer trips he did, he had made a sort of a hollow breastplate with a long, flexible rubber tube serving as a straw, and straps that would go over the shoulders. Sort of like a backpack worn on the front, only flatter. The thing covered most of his torso, and per his words it was incredibly convenient, both on, and off road, if you know what I mean.
He passed away many years ago, and since then I've tried the thing for myself once. It does work, and can relatively easily be concealed under a hoodie so I guess that's a plus. The downside was that after having the thing on for 30 minutes I was ready to die of dehydration rather than keep the thing on my body a minute longer. It wasn't very comfortable, then again he was quite a bit bigger than me.
