I have one of those flasks that I got here in Colo Spgs. It's great, 6 oz and it's own shot glass.

Agreed - DO get a flask.

DON'T leave it empty when changing altitude. I've taken flasks to events up in the high country, and drained them. When I brought them back down, the higher air pressure outside the flask at the lower altitude crushed big dents into the flasks.

So, either refill it FULL when changing altitude, or leave the cap off. Liquids don't compress or expand like gases do.

If needed, you can fill it full of water just to make sure.

(The first time I did that was a pewter flask. The second one was steel, and the shot glass no longer fits into it because of the dent. Never again!)
