Drinking and dorm life doesn't mix—period. For all the underage booze hounds out there who can't resist a party, read these tips before you get caught red-handed by resident advisors.

1. Conceal the alcohol in a bag as you walk into the dorms. And, brown bagging it won't fly either; try a duffle bag or backpack.
2. Confidence is key. If you look sketchy or nervous, RA's will be tailing you around the dorm.
3. Less is more. Limit the gathering to a maximum of five people. RA's aren't as stupid as they look, especially when they see a trail of people walking into a room.
4. Turn the music down. Unless the RA's are tone deaf, they will be knocking down your door and ending your shin-dig.
5. Quantity control. Don't drink the whole vodka bottle. A person with his or her head in the toilet bowl smells like a party gone awry.
6. Keep your clothes on. There is a place and time for Girls Gone Wild, so keep your naughty bits under wraps and out of the hallways.
7. Hide-and-go-seek: Bottles and cans will call attention to themselves, so hide them. Your mini fridge does not constitute hiding either and they will ask you to open it. Cheers to warm suds!
8. Recycle. If you manage to get through the night without penalties, put the cans in a dark garbage bag and recycle. Beer cans and alky bottles as dorm room decorations give away your penchant for partying.
