How to Stop Bottles Clinking in a Bag?

To cushion a bottle, slide it into a high sock (or two), and wrap the neck of the bottle with a shirt. Next, wrap everything with another shirt or sweatshirt, and place this at the center of your bag. Do this with each bottle you're carrying. It's not a fool-proof method, but it should work in a pinch.

How do I stop bottles from clanking?

Hide your alcohol in other bottles.
  1. Put vodka, gin, and other clear spirits in water bottles. Make sure you leave the cap on at all times, when you're not drinking, to avoid the strong smell attracting attention.
  2. Hide wine in Nalgenes, in fruit-drink bottles, or Vitamin Water containers.

Why does tapping a bottle open it?

A hit on the top of a bottle sends waves through the beer. The bubbles inside shrink and expand as the waves pass through them. Eventually, they collapse. At some point, the bubbles just can't take the compression anymore.
