liquor flask
 
Anyone in here uses a liquor flask? Is there anything I should look for or keep in mind when shopping for one? I was reading the reviews in Amazon, and it seems like some leak, and possibly rust too. Anyways, those were cheaper and not as pretty. I found a site with plenty pretty ones, but I wasn't sure if they're any better other than being prettier. :p:

Plastic lined is probably the best bet against leaking, rusting, or just getting icky.

Plastic lined??? I haven't run across one yet! Well, there's this one that's made from plexi glass, but the top or tip is made from stainless steel, or so I think. Here's a pix below. I like it just cuz of the plexi-glass material. However, I am partial towards the round or the slim design because they're so pretty. :D

I've seen some that are a plastic flask covered with metal, usually pewter, or silver plated something, engraved with designs.
Leather too, is sometimes used for a cover, which is good if you're hiding it in your underpants during cold weather.

Perhaps I may be of assistance.

I have a number of flasks (stainless, leather covered, etc), and the one I find most useful, *by far*, is this one by Nalgene.

Good volume, holds almost a half of a fifth (no, that's not a tenth), and I really like the sleeve the actual flask fits into. It has a cap cover that is designed to be a "shot "glass""--silly. Unbreakable, at least I've never been able to break any nalgene bottle I have used and abused. I'm still on my first one, and I've had it for years.

:confused: you pour it from some other bottle into this bottle before pouring it into your mouth? :confused:

what part of houston do you live in? the spec's on westheimer and kirkwood as well as the one between fondren and voss have a pretty good selection.

I've heard, for non-hermits that actually go forth in the world, the other bottle is not an option, as the police and public frown on it.

A Practical Guide To Drinking At Work advises against the use of flasks, though.....

If you drink at work you have issues...

monster 01-15-2011 08:12 PM

Only if there's no fridge available.

Just tell your boss it's an external artificial heart, you know, just temporary until they find a donor. ;)
