Do you own a flask?

[NickMordo]

I'm speaking, of course, of a flask used to store and transport alcohol (not chemicals). I know flasks have been around forever and a dark liquor, such as whiskey or bourbon, is meant to be put in them.

When asked by a friend what i would like for Christmas, a flask popped into my head. The stainless steel flasks can be bought for $10 and last as long as you want them to, really. I could see some instances when I would use them, but others when it wouldn't make sense. I do love whiskey though.

Someone convince me either way.

I haven't used mine since college and sneaking bourbon into football games, but I'm more of a beer drinker. I do still have these, which a friend gave me and I've never used:

It's useful because as a Sparty fan you can fill it with kerosene in case you run across a stray couch.

I got one as a groomsman's gift a few years ago. I haven't used it in about 2 years, but that's mostly due it being packed in storage during multiple moves. If I could dig it out right now I would.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I don't drink and I own five.

It's a popular groomsmen gift.

No. But then again, I'm only 38, not 76.

I think it's one of those things that you have if you're under 21 or over 65.

 

[Steak Snabler]

I have a large stainless steel one that fits perfectly in the back pocket of my jeans. It's a good thing to have handy at outdoor public events like football tailgates and Mardi Gras parades.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Yes.

I recall a flask being a must with the faux hip set in college.

I didn't own a flask in college and today I woke up and randomly thought, Why didn't I have a flask in college?

 

[bumpy mcgee]

I've been given many as groomsmen, birthday and Christmas presents. The only time I ever use one is when I can put it in the inside pocket of a suit, which for me is pretty much weddings, funerals and job interviews.

That is one random, day-opening thought.

 

[terrier]

I don't. My father did, because he made several business trips a year to a dry county in Tennessee.

You don't want access to my dementia.

Flasks have been off my list ever since Johnny and Ponyboy got the crap kicked out of them.

 

[TigerVols]

I have a few flasks that I use namely for decoration.

But when Santa brings me this one -- complete with bike cage -- I'll be sporting one on my road bike:

I haven't met anyone who admitted to owning a flask. Met plenty of people who collect shot glasses. Do the two groups intermingle?

 

[Shoeless Joe]

I have one just like TigerVols liked to, except engraved with my name that a buddy gave me a few years ago for Christmas. The same guy gave me that and one of those "yard of beer" glasses. Two of the best presents I've ever gotten!

I just forwarded that to my wife with the instructions to make sure somebody buys that for me for Christmas. Thanks.
