Flask Umbrella Keeps You From Being Dry in the Rain
Posted by Adam Frucci at 8:30 AM on November 27, 2007
Alcoholic on the go? Nothing's worse than getting stuck in the rain without a nip or two to help keep you warm. Well, if you had this sneaky Malacca Flask Umbrella from Swaine Adeney Brigg, you'd never go without. Simply unscrew the bottom of the handle to reveal a glass flask that you can fill up with your favourite hooch. I hope you're a functional alcoholic with a good paying job, however, as this thing will set you back a criminal $1,000. [Product Page via UrbanDaddy]

Aren't flasks supposed to be small enough to seem inconspicuous while sipping? Drinking out of that, you'd look like someone drinking a urine sample out of a test tube... or if you left it in, someone who finds their umbrella to be delicious.

Nice, going to have to try that sometime. not so much the keeping it in the car, but it would freak out my friends/not seem totally out of character to do it.
I more file this with the "cane sword" for multi-functional leaning device that one would never use for it's secondary purpose...

hmmm...
"Blood-Alcohol Evidence - Usually a breath test but sometimes a blood test. (Urine tests are now given in California only when breath or blood are not available.) "
if blood or breath are not available, im pretty sure the guy is DEAD. ANoel, how do you all do it in canada?

@EvilJ:
right - file this one with the snowboard binding flask.
why cant i get a flask that looks like a can of soda? could probably make one from one of those stash things.... although, i prefer to put hypnotiq into an old windex bottle. looks right at home in the back seat of your car, and you can freak out unknowing friends by threatening to, then actually drinking it.

Or, taking it a step further, if you happened to be drunk driving and got pulled over the limit by a cop, and refused to take a breathalyser in lieu of a urine test, you could have this umbrella loaded, a la Withnail & I, with unadulterated child's piss, and walk.
