How can I get rid of hidden alcohol without my parents knowing?
I'm 22 years old, so it's legal for me to drink where I live. However, my parents are quite old-fashioned, and they grew up in a time when it was frowned upon for girls to drink. My mom has never had a drink, not even a sangria on her 21st birthday, which is why I couldn't celebrate mine with alcohol. Since then, I've been hiding my drinking habits. I usually enjoy a sangria or margarita when I'm at restaurants by myself or with friends, but I avoid anything that might get me drunk because I still live with my parents and can't come home intoxicated.
I'm now looking to bring alcohol home since I'm tired of only drinking at restaurants. I have a hiding place where I can keep it without them knowing, but my main concern is disposing of empty bottles. Since my parents don't drink and they expect me not to either, I can't just throw the bottles away in our household garbage. What are some discreet options for disposing of empty alcohol bottles? If there aren't any good solutions, I guess I'll have to continue going to restaurants until I move out, unless that's the safer route.

So just stash the empties in the same box they came in. Once it’s full sneak it out the same way you snuck it in and toss it in a public dumpster.
If the smell of the empties is a concern rinse them out when you get the chance.
Uh… Keep your bottles in your room until trash day and take them outside to the curb, rather than into the kitchen the night before your trash gets picked up.
Also, your parents should be a little more understanding of the culture we are now living in, regardless of having been born in a different one. We are no longer in the day and age of women being seen and not heard or being expected to maintain ladylike behavior at all times. You’ve already surpassed the legal age of drinking, a glass or 2 of wine is nothing too extreme or out of control.
Wait till there out, shopping, friends, work,whatever. Or stash a bottle outside in the bushes/garden and drink when you go out
you can put it in your purse and throw it away at a friends house or a public dumpster. you also can slip it into a bag filled with trash and throw it out like that.
