Take an empty bottle of Evian to the supermarket, get a trolley and then fill it up so its full of loads of stuff. Quickly walk passed the vodka whilst swiping a bottle off the shelf, then go to a quiet area of the shop and steadily poor the vodka into the Evian bottle. Do this in the actual trolley with the added concealment of all the stuff you gathered. Then ditch the trolley in a random aisle and pay for the Evian bottle on the way out.
