Because nothing says relaxation

more than a bra full of wine.

Pull a Rihanna

“Okay, so after RiRi
wore a flask bracelet at
Coachella last year, I
bought one and used
it at Mamma Mia 2,”
says Leigh Miller, 25, a
genius. “It felt weird but it
was kind of awesome. No
one even cared that I was
drinking out of my wrist.”
Bed Bath & Beyond
sells one for $20
that can fit a little more
than two shots.

Wear a wine bra

If you really want to

commit, get a WineRack.

It comes in three sizes

that all hold 25 ounces

of liquid (spicy margs,

anyone?). All you have to

do is fill it up—and make

sure you’re wearing

a shirt that you can snake

the long tubes through.

Share with friends and be

the hero of your crew.

Bring an

extra tampon

But the boozy kind:

Amazon sells tube-

shaped “tampon flasks”

that fit up to an ounce

of alcohol. Fill up a

few, throw ’em in your

bag, pass them around,

and you can totally turn

the Downton Abbey

movie into a drinking

game. We’ll start you off:

Take a shot every time

you wish Matthew were

still alive.

Use cargo pockets

(not kidding)

“My adult boyfriend still

refuses to get rid of

his cargo shorts,”

says Emma Holmes, 23,

“but at least they come

in handy on movie dates.

The pockets can fit a can

of beer, spiked seltzer,

mini booze, whatever.”

Also, cargo pants are

now officially ~on trend~

(for better or worse),

so there’s zero shame

in this game.

Break out

the gummy bears

This one takes some
dedication so assign it
to your Virgo friend: Two
days pre-movie, soak
10 gummies in a bowl
of vodka (or your hard
liquor of choice). Make
sure they’re totally sub-
merged and covered in
the fridge. Then dry ‘em
off and pop them in a zip-
lock like the soccer mom
of your dreams.

Update your

old-school go-to

Showing up with
booze in a water bottle
is effective...but also
very college. It’s time
to retire that plastic—
brands like S’well make
cute 25-ounce containers
that’ll also keep your
drink chilled the entire
movie. (P.S. Just one holds
an entire bottle of rosé,
so you and your girls
are covered.)
