    that's not a bad price and I like the idea of them; however they just look so darn small.
    At that point, why bother?
    I wish they magically held more. Can't we get a physicist working on that? Doesn't tring theory say something about small flasks being able to hold 5 times their capacity? That was my interpretation...

    I'm thinking 8 oz. of whisky will get most folks through most situations.

    Is it 8 oz? Most of the ones I've seen are maybe 4. In any case, it's terribly impolite to hog all the whisky; I need enough for my friends too!

    I'm an idiot! I was just joking about the boda bag for your booze. I don't drink, so I don't know anything about this.

    you know you could alway have a sporran lined and sealed with a good heavy plastic or rubber lining and then you could as your flask. wouldn't look out of place with everything... Drawback is, you keys, wallet, cell phone, PDA, Ipod, and so on might get a bit wet...

    I would suggest you talk with Turpin. Bet he could dream up something.

    A false front to the sporran?! You could have a fully functional sporran easily accessible from the flap, but behind it a hidden, spy, alcohol pouch for holding important documents and whisky sours (hopefully not at the same time).

    Maybe the bagpipe flask would be a good idea too, since we're always asked where our pipes are anyway!

    For those who are worried that the flask pictured was too small, there is always this wearable version which holds three liters.
