Alcohol in camelbak?

[cooio]

Right i'm going to glastonbury for the first time this year (woooo!) and have seen some people on here suggest putting alcohol, (non carbonated) in camelbak/hydration packs so its easy to carry round with you. But ive heard that you should not leave it uncleaned (if alcohol is used) for a few days, and I dont imagine you can clean it very thorougly at glasto, do you think it would be ok just to refill it each day?

I use it for mountain biking and dont want to give it a horrible taste for ever or something.

I'd probably be putting vodka + OJ in it or something similar.

any thoughts?

The main reason people suggest sticking alcohol into a camelback is so you can sneak a bit of vodka etc past the security searches into the arena from the campsite. This doesn't apply at Glasto as you are allowed to bring your own booze from your car/tent to the main site.

I'd suggest you bring a normal rucksack plus whatever non-glass bottles you need to carry your booze round in. You don't really want to drink Vodka from a camelback do you? Much nicer to have it out of cups so you have the social aspect of having a drink with whoever you are with.

I use a camelbak, have done for years it's fine and means you are hands free.

Thanks both of you, you raise a good point but i think ill bring it along anyway and give it a try at least. depending on the size of all my luggage of course.
