What is Gloving?

Inserting a beer or other alcoholic beverage into a glove or similarly innocent object for the purpose of inconspicuous consumption. Frequently used at public activities to dodge open container, public intoxication and underaged drinking laws.
Kevin: Dude, why are you drinking out of that glove?
Chris: So that cop over there doesn't arrest me for an open container violation. It's called gloving.
