While having a lengthy mind numbing discussion regarding flasks, keep in mind that some states, namely Texas, take a negative view on alcohol in a flask. This is considered an open container and depending upon the police offer and surrounding circumstances it could result in being processed at the station (ie spending the night at the grey bar motel) and spending endless hours sitting in a courtroom where being kilted runs the high risk of offending the court. Courts in Texas are and have been quite conservative for some time.

While flasks can be a gorgeous addition, it is what is inside the flask that could make for a bad situation worse. This note comes in the heels of having to represent 2 clients for DWI in Houston Texas, one who was in possession of a flask. As Harris County, Texas leads the nation in DWI's it puts the prosecution in a hard position with almost no room to negotiate.

Time and place for everything.
