I wanted to try an old native american (apache) training ritual i'd heard about because my 3-miler tonight was in danger of being boring. So I decided I would take a mouthful of water out the door with me and try to keep it in my mouth for the whole three miles.
However, as I was getting ready to head out the door, my housemate was pouring a glass of (hard) cider, so I took a big swig of that and out the door I went! About halfway through my run, I started wondering if my mouthful of cider constituted an "open container." I decided no, since my mouth was decidedly not open! And besides, I could always swallow the evidence if confronted...(where have I heard that one before? But I digress...)
Anyway, three miles later, my housemate was not super-impressed as I spat about half a mouthful of nasty, backwashed cider back out into a glass in an attempt to prove my awesomeness. Still, I think there is some potential here. It would be interesting to try with harder alcohols...a truly mobile pub!
