Quote HistoryQuoted: It's like people that smoke, it's a bad habit, and people should be able to judge others based on their bad habits. Why take a nip every now and then? Other than it being a bad habit. Drinking, like most other drugs, is probably best for social situations and used sparingly. Busybodies always rationalize their behavior. Ask a lefty and they can go on about how they "should be able to" stop you from owning guns. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Frankly, I sort of wish more people used flasks. I'm sick of walking the county roads near me and finding dozens of empty Fireball bottles.  I've got a nice one that my wife gave me. Usually used when I'm on the water or in the woods. That's one of the reasons I like a flask. Beer is nice to drink while out in nature, but sometimes there isn't a trash can nearby so it's a PITA to deal with the empties. I spend too much time picking up trash on the disc golf course to be littering myself. |

GD never disappoints with the Puritan membership. Having a flask doesn't automatically mean one is a hipster or an alcoholic. It's more about something missing in their lives causing them to lash out at others. Kinda sad really. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: REI Flask Set I have taken this one on several climbing trips. Nesting cup, cap is a shot glass, Nalgeen. The old hippie lady who assisted me when I was there at REI said they sell way more of these than the metal ones. I've pretty much given up drinking but I've still got one of those I used to toss in my pack for camping trips. It's held up well considering how it's been treated. I've got a couple of other flasks as well including a small one that I used to carry in the little stove kit that I toss in my bag when fishing/bushcrafting/etc. It's nice to be able to add a shot to your coffee sometimes, specially when it's cold. Just 'cause you carry a flask at times doesn't mean you're an alcoholic or even much of a drinker.

Quoted: https://dnyuz.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/The-Discreet-Charm-of-a-Flask-750x375.jpg In January 1920, when Prohibition went into effect, the demand for flasks was so great that manufacturers couldn't keep pace. Devoted tipplers pressed baby bottles into service and filled hollow walking canes and faux books with spirits. A century later, as we stare down another, colder season of coronavirus-induced social isolation, with restrictions on New York's bars and restaurants already in place, the humble flask is undergoing a resurgence, if less flamboyantly than a hundred years ago. Pleasingly pocket size, leakproof and designed expressly for covert sipping, flasks confer espionage-style savoir faire to public drinking in a way that the cumbersome water bottle, with its wholesome VSCO-girl connotations, can't even hope to rival. Stanley, a purveyor of stainless-steel portable beverage ware since 1913, has seen a huge increase in sales of its Classic Easy Fill Wide Mouth Flask 8oz ($25) during the pandemic, the company said. At the flask online superstore Flasks.com, the wedding-related flasks that have long driven revenue are down, while "smaller quantity orders" have risen sharply. "Based on that, we can conclude that generally more individuals are purchasing and using hip flasks during the pandemic," said the owner Chris Barton. The Economy Hip Flask ($3.56) means even the cash strapped can join the walktail party. .. Today public drinking remains banned in all but 11 states. But in New York, at least, the open-container law has relaxed (depending on the neighborhood, and who's doing the drinking). In 2016, the Manhattan district attorney's office announced it would no longer prosecute the low-level offense of drinking in public unless there's a demonstrated public safety reason to do so. This March, the state's liquor authority allowed drinks to go, though there have been subsequent crackdowns against congregation. Nothing can replace the cozy pleasure of intimate conversation at a dimly lit bar. But from our bench on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Lower Manhattan twinkling before us, I hardly felt put out. I liked not risking the health of essential workers just so I could drink with a friend. When the wind gusted, yellow leaves from the beech trees we sat beneath blew into our hair, like shooting stars. None of this is a silver lining, exactly, but in this grim moment I'll settle for stainless steel. https://dnyuz.com/2020/12/02/the-discreet-charm-of-a-flask/ I've used flasks for years. Cool idea, but when I asked her what I needed it for, you know, because I'm either drinking at home, or in a bar, she said, "well, what if your traveling?" People don't think open container be like it do, but it do.

Just used it once when I played golf with my buds about 5 years ago. I need to break it out and use it again. It felt cool taking it out of my back pocket and taking a nip. With a great cigar. |

I used to bring a flask when I did a paintball "zombie hunt" thing a few years ago. It was the later half of october in PA and it got kinda nippy out. Getting shot in excess of 200 to 300 times a night fucking hurts, and the Dewars White Label I had helped mitigate the pain a bit.

I got these for an RV trip from Texas to New Mexico. State Parks make a big deal out of no VISABLE alcohol. But if you've ever been to a campsite like that everyone is drinking like all day. It's part of the fun.
anyway we kept a couple of these in the RV fridge and freezer. Took up less room than bottles, no noise when you were going down the road, and adding some almost frozen Tito's to your cup as soon as you make camp is pretty sweet. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's called a Balmer Peak. I was never a programmer but it is definitely a thing with me an foreign languages. I learned Russian over in Kyrgyzstan and just the right amount of alcohol would soften up my palate enough to pronounce things better. One drink more and it went to shit again. 1-2 .5L of Baltika and 1-2 shots of vodka was the sweet spot. https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ballmer_peak.png Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I used to take a flask of Jack Daniels when I went snowboarding.

I've had the Stanley Flask for years. It's sturdy, but heavy.
But it was mostly replaced by a Keith Titanium flask. Holds about 5 ounces, much lighter. I wish the cap was attached. I carry a flask to poker night. A) I'm not bringing a bottle that some may see as a challenge to empty. B) 5 ounces is plenty for a trip around the table a couple times. C) I don't have to carry the damn bottle. |
