Hip flasks

congo_90

So just a quick question and possibly a poll soon enough.

Who here carries a hip flask? Do you conceal it in your jacket or wear it out loud and proud?

What does your flask contain and what warrants the use of a flask?

Having seen people with flasks in different places I was just wondering the boards view on all this.

I don't like the thought of strong spirits in contact with metal, I think some other poster said it could corrode, not sure. I do have an empty benylin bottle though! -thats my medicine Mr Bouncer, holds 3.5 measures, usually dark or aged rum.

Usually have it for gigs, saves me queing for drink and missing the act, saves drinking the choice of guinness or heineken from a flexible plastic cup (probaby 500ml) and being €6 a pop. Also spirits are easier on the bladder so no piss breaks during my favourite song.

Your ages of wisdom is well received! Still sounds a tad suspisious though.

I agree about the plastic crap holding what is supposed to be beer at ridiculous price

When funds are low, out come the flask.
It mainly holds gin for a very short period.
Saves me a good €30 on a night out.
Well worth the €14.99 investment.

I have one; coming christmas time it's very handy! Those cold nights walking to pub are fixed with a nip of decent whiskey

Had it once or twice at some boards beers last year.

I don't use it often; I do like drinking in pubs with friends and whiskey will have me on my ear.

14.99? holy fook. I'd want it to be massaging any part of me that touches it and keeping my drink optimum!

My "flask" is typically a can of beer or 2 on the way to the pub or some rum in a 7up bottle and the can/bottle thrown into the bin just before the pub. it's my "1 can+ spirit intro.

The idea of a flask to put my dark rum in for longer journeys seems appealing and somehow manly. How does one keep a flask when not in use?

Just noticed. No-one selected "yes" to the poll yet. Interesting because of the forum. I guess you learn something new everyday

i bought one in Breckenridge Colorado that doubles as a cigar holder too.

It is twin-barrel shaped with one side for booze and the other for a cigar.

I carry one with me whenever I go out usually.
Filled with Morgan's Spice or Southy, saves me a good bit of money on a night out.
