Flask Etiquette?

[ThirstyinOhio]

I use one when shoveling snow. My neighbors can't figure out why I can go for hours and seem so cheerful- until the catch a flash of stainless in my hand from the glow of the street lamp. OGD 100 or 114 work great!

Now that is a great idea.

In fact the last show my son locked my keys in the car and I had to wait over an hour for roadside. It was a much nicer kickback with the flask (and my son) to keep me company.

For the sake of all the other drivers and pedestrians on the road that day I hope your son took the wheel after you emptied the flask.

I enjoy using the flask quite often. Best not to be too obvious about it, but it has been a good friend. Many folks I know ask what I might have on any given adventure, as they are quite willing to take a pull. In fact, I have noticed the flask has become more common to see around here. As for Etiquette? Just be prudent and use some common sense.

I went to a show the other night and had about a half hour wait until curtain. Doggone if the 4 oz didn't even make it to the first number! Only thing I'd say- If you're gonna take one, just make sure it's sized right for the event. Next time the 8 oz is going in...

It holds about 5-6 oz and it was BEFORE the concert. And although he has his license, the world is far safer with me behind the wheel

JP I think flasks are cool, used one for years. The problem is in most jurisdictions transporting alcohol in a flask (even full and tightly screwed down top) is still legally an open container because it's not factory sealed. Silly I know, but a $250--$500 fine and taking time off from work to hear a stern lecture from a judge is not worth the hassle.

Got an old pint flask with a leather cover. Took it to the golf course yesterday. Nice to a take a few pulls and pass around whole waiting to tee off on a cool crowded holiday.

Thanks for all the great replies, fellas!

I had a flask when I was in my 20's but that ended more than 30 years ago.

Ill bring my stanley flask with me when i go out shooting, hunting, fishing & camping. Its nice to have some OGD, wild turkey or KCSB to steady the hand & adds to any outdoor experience!

My neighbors, after some initial shock, have gotten used to me having an 'ass pocket of whiskey.' I pack my flask when I roam the street with my 5yr old. My son can find a friend anywhere, so when I find myself at a neighbors house for an impromptu 20 minute play-date, you better believe I'll use my flask. OWA and OGD are great for these purposes.

As of today cutting down the old family Christmas tree it came in rather handy as well.

Proper flask etiquette calls for a pewter funnel to prevent spills. Failing this, etiquette plan B calls for licking the spilled booze off the side of said flask.
