Hip flask

The hip flask began to appear in the form it is recognized today in the 18th century, initially used by members of the gentry.

During the 18th century, women boarding docked British warships would smuggle gin into the ship via makeshift flasks, created from pig's bladders and hidden inside their petticoats.

Following the act of prohibition in 1920s America, the state of Indiana banned the sale of cocktail shakers and hip flasks.

[3][4][5] In the United Kingdom, carrying or drinking from a hip flask in public places is not illegal in general.

In Family Guy, the character Brian Griffin also carries around a hip flask in the earlier seasons.
