whiskey flask

Hip liquor container

A whiskey flask is a small, flat container designed to carry liquor on one's person, typically curved to fit against the hip or chest.

Usually made of metal—often stainless steel or silver—with a hinged cap.

The flask holds a few ounces, enough for discreet sips: He pulled a whiskey flask from his jacket pocket.

Despite the name, flasks carry any spirit.
