hip flask

Concealed liquor container

A hip flask is a small, flat container for carrying liquor, designed to fit in a pocket or against the body.

Typically made of metal with a screw-on cap, it holds enough for a few drinks: He pulled a hip flask from his jacket and took a swig.

The shape curves slightly to conform to the hip or chest.
