How does a bus from Siem Reap to PP take 12+ hrs? Your friend has enough money to buy beer. Next time pay for a bus with an internal combination engine and save on the beer.
Also buy a suitable backpack that will be allowed in the bus and which simultaneously holds enough beer for the whole trip. Stout really doesn't need refrigeration to be drinkable but he might try out dry ice and get an insulated softccase. A 50 L pack holds about a case easily.
I take it that hard stuff or fortified wine doesn't suffice, it has to be stout? Hard liquor saves on the volume.
Make a mental plan for the whole trip, containing items like:
Step 45, when approaching border crossing, remember not to burst out, especially at people in uniform. If they bark/chatter in a funny staccato language while pointing an AK-47 at you and cocking the action, it's a bad sign, immediately present a wad of green paper while shouting "dollar, dollar, dollar, free for you!"
Why not make the trip into a multi stage act with scripted scenes for fixed situations, like getting on the bus, being addressed by bus attendants, crossing the border, and so on?
Remember that successful military operations are usually preceded by detailed planning and rehearsals.
A small portable home use breathalyzer is not wrong, try to keep the reading below the level that carries a mandatory 2 year prison sentence in the UK or Australia merely for the DUI without causing an accident.
Try another crossing like others have suggested. Maybe dye the hair, grow a beard. Even dressing up in decent clothes might help. Store the mtb in the cargo hold for the whole trip, border guards might remember the guy who tried to cross on a bike.
