when you keep a small amount of liquor in, say a fifth bottle to distract from the secret, half gallon bottle hidden somehere. to have NO liquor in the freezer would be suspicious. this keeps the party from being at your house too long if friends drop by.
I'm glad we ditched Joe at the bar but now what, we drank all your liquor? Naw man that was just the decoy bottle i got a half gal. in the dresser!

The one sober person at a party or bar who leaves first acting like a complete drunk fool to divert law inforcement attention so the rest of the ppl who are actually drunk can leave without fear of persecution.
