The fine folks at Recycle-A-Flask were kind enough to send me over a sample of their product. In order to fulfill my duties as a reviewer, I filled the flask up with bourbon and took it for a test drive at a spring game. Sometimes you gotta take one for the team.

So what separates this flask from the others? For starters, it’s made from recyclable plastic for the more environmentally conscious alcoholic. But that also means that it can be tossed in a recycling bin, will make it through a metal detector, is lightweight, and affordable. These bad boys will only set you back about $2 so it’s not an issue if you need to trash it when it’s empty. The Recycle-A-Flask comes with a funnel and holds five fluid ounces, bridging the gap between sneaking in miniatures or an 8-12oz flask. Personally, my main goal for sneaking in liquor is to prevent the hangover and yelling induced headache that inevitably emerges in the second half. With it’s small size and black plastic, this flask more closely resembles a Blackberry than a shiny metal reminder that you are skirting the rules. I confidently brandished mine with a cop about 7 rows below me in a fairly empty stadium. Now for the real genius of this flask, the clear plastic viewing window on one side allows you to see how much liquor is left. This cuts down on over pours and unknowingly running out.

If you local liquor store isn’t carrying these yet, you can buy standard or personalized versions online at FunFlasks.com. If you check out their you may be able to get one for free. This nifty little flask is easy to use when full and less cumbersome in your pocket when you’re done. The Drunken Tailgate approves.
