Being a rookie bonnarooster,wondering if i could some insite on the gates of centeroo..like,if i bring a camel back,will they check the contents or make me dump it?{water OR booze.} If i have my back pack on,must i empty it ALL or just open it for a look. Gotta turn your pockets inside out and all that jazz? And once inside centroo,am i acessable to drinks and food,or is that all out side of centeroo?
the severity of the security depends on the individual who searches you. I've never had a problem with anything, but if you do have one, just turn around and go to another entrance and you should be good. they're not gonna chase after you
I'd recommend getting a small camelback... and by small I mean without a huge carrying area for stuff besides the bladder. I saw them searching people's big backpacks, but my camelback had just a few small pockets and was pretty flush to my back. They ushered me right through every time without looking at it at all. I brought in both water and alcohol in the bladder and it was never a problem.
I just recently got one and I can't imagine putting anything other than vodka in there if I was going to bother. There really aren't too many other alcohols that wouldn't leave that thing sort of nasty, right?

Look for the line/lines that are moving along quicker than the others and hope for the best. Having a smaller and less obvious camelbak will help alot too, mine is the most simple desgin they have and there isnt much there for them to check...
last year, i got my camelback searched.. after the first time i learned that you have to leave it mt w/the sealed h2o in w/the backpack.. but they checked it everytime..
as for a pat down, i've only been done once in 2 yrs..
i have always had my bag open and ready for them when i walk up, most of the time they see your cooperation and wave you straight through... nothing like keeping things moving

I buy the big jugs of Jose Quervo margarita mix with the tequila already in it (they always have them at the BJ's by me), for night time. And I thow some ice cubes into the bladder as well.
(Have to hide them in the bottom of the luggage though cause they are glass)
Even if I forget to rinse it out when I get back late night I find it's fine in the morning once it's rinsed out with just a little water. It can have a faint taste of margarita for the rest of the day, but it's not unpleasant, its kinda like water with a tiny bit of lemon I imagine beer and some other drinks would leave a more funky taste.
