Like most when it is cold out I like to have a nip in the evenings . Glass bottles are something I not big on carrying and is not very desecrate, but a standard flask is not big enough . Just wondering what everybody uses .

My wife picked up some aluminum bottles at Target that we use to carry spirits. I think they hold about a liter or so.
I think these are the ones:
On a longer trip we'll usually bring a few different varieties, and the colors help tell them apart.
Well actually .... even if it's short trip we are well stocked.

I have seen many people on backpack expeditions in the city, and they prefer a brown paper sack.

I bought 4 of the Platypus reservoirs almost 3-years ago and they're used all the time for wine and liquor. No flavor is imparted to even higher alcohol content liquor, very light and compact way to store either and keeps oxygen effect to an absolute minimum if you squeeze the air out (easy). Oh yeah: They're nearly indestructible.

What could go wrong?
Now that's funny!
Some friends of mine went on a Mexican cruise (where you can't bring alcohol aboard) and bought a bunch of these:

I have no idea how sturdy they are, but they may be worth a look.
