Hi all,

I'm 16 and a Glasto first timer. Now do you think I'll be ok with taking alcohol in? I was thinking a couple crates of cans and a decanted bottle of gin and maybe some decanted white wine. If it's all in my bag do you think I'll be ok?

I'll be arriving late afternoon Thursday.

Theres always gonna be an outside chance that you get searched and then id'd, but I would say that you will be fine. Good luck getting a couple of crates, gin, and wine into one bag with all ur sruff though.

Make sure you check with your Doctor that you aren't packing too many units of Alcohol.

Hahah I'll find somewhere to kip.

Yeah you should be alright, though it depends if they do a random search on you or not. To be honest, even if they do they will be more interested in drugs or glass anyway so I wouldn't worry too much.

Is it not just illegal to buy alcohol under 18?

That is true but as a minor I have to legally be with someone over the age of 18 so they can take responsibility for my crazy escapades. And they can confiscate anything they feel like at the gate

Been under 18 the last 2 years and now problems whatsoever with taking my booze in. No problem at any bars buying booze. Only when needing some rizla did any of my group ever get asked for ID.
My first festival as an adult aswell

That's filled me with confidence

ive never had a problem buying alcohol, let alone taking it in! Mind you, two years ago when i was nearly 17 and my brother was nearly 19 he got asked for ID at the brothers bar and i didn't..

It's already been mentioned but my advice is just be cool

I've known loads of 16 - 17 year old peeps carry drink through.
