The Flask. Can any Drunkard have a more worthy companion? It epitomizes freedom. The ability to take ones favorite or seasonal libation with you anywhere. Others can wax poetic, far better than I, about the finer points of the Flask. I will say that I rarely travel without at least 2. One of the 8 oz. variety for lower shelf, freely shared hooch. I pack a 4 oz. one with a higher grade, shared with close friends and fellow hoochers.
I have two of the Stanley Flasks as I have found them to be highly durable. I still have one of my first flasks a camo covered one that was given to me by a long ago girlfriend. I never did thank her for that. I also have my clandestine flask for those dangerous black ops deep into dry territory, a 4 oz. secreted inside a fake Bible. Comes in damn handy.
Family photo. The one in the center was a yard sale find a lady friend of my wife and I came across. She instantly thought of me when she saw it.
I've never used it it's more of a show piece from yesteryear. The leather strap is torn at the top so I won't use it for fear of damaging it further,that and I have know idea what the hell has been in it.

That bible one is great. Need one for every major religion. And one hidden in a book of fairytales when managing my nephew`s birthday party, just hope they don`t ask me to read them some. Then it`s time for drunk improvising
So where`s the "things a drunkard needs" thread?
I mean bottle opener (lighter for that matter), crokscrew, a container like a glass or so (straight from the bottle works too of course) are mandatory. What about a blender? Does a drunkard need a blender?
Yes the flask is a must have item. I have quite a few, I even got one of those Stanley ones (in black). I'll take a picture sometime .
That old garage sale one is a cool. like the Bible one too.
But ya know, the flask I've gotten the most use out of are the plastic ones they sell at my local, you can get a 12oz flask for $2.99 that is almost drunkard proof indestructable (I said almost), and if you get caught in a restricted area you can toss it, you're only out 2.99 + booze. I still have a couple of the $3.99 16oz plastic ones around here that I used to take on midnight graveyard hikes.
Good times, good times.
Wonderful collection of flasks, Patchez. The hollowed out Bible is a priceless artifact. The Stanleys are a comforting familiarity in my ice fishing experiences and the "joke flask" that is ironically no joke is muchos appreciated.
A flask is the rifle in the kit of the Drunkard Korps.
Take care of it and it WILL take care of you!

Love the Stanley flask. I regularly break out the one you sent for HBE, Patchez. many thanks for that. It hasn't missed a deer camp yet.
The flask I think I get the most use out of, though, was actually given to me by Missus Bluto's mother. She's a heavy drinker of Dr. McGuillicuddy's Menthol. When she bought a handle once a upon a time it came with a tiny little flask. It holds maybe 2.5 ounce. I carry it with me in my daily carry bag which goes pretty much everyehere I go. The bag has what I need for emergencies and that little flask is just the ticket. It's saved my hide more than once.
Going to happy hour and not drinking is like going to an orgy and masturbating. You just took a great idea and turned it into a circle jerk. -Sixpack595

Got engraved flasks for all my groomsmen when I got married. Pretty sure mine is the only one still in heavy use.

Doesn`t help you when waking up hungover only in your underpants in South Dakota. But once you find Mount Rushmore you can at least calculate it`s just around 1500 miles back to Vegas.
Raising the question: is a magnetic compass recommended then?
