I often bring a flask to the bar with me primarily to save money. A 6 shot flask is worth about 3 drinks at the bar. No one that I didn't intentionally show has ever noticed it. When I do show a guy, the reaction is usually "That's genius man, let me hit that."

It is also a slick move to be able to offer a girl a surprise swig on the way out of the bar if you manage to still have some left. Phrase is with something like "It's my favorite whiskey" (or whatever it is). Something suggesting its exclusive and you can't find it just anywhere.

Also it must be a good flask, not cheap plastic. Mine has an engraved logo of the city I grew up in, which I no longer live in. Which also makes it sentimental as well as a good convo piece.

I still always buy a drink when I get to the bar, and just use my flask to supplement.

What does seddit think?
