Girl Goes Viral After Sharing Her Mum's Brilliant Hip Flask Idea

Alcohol is great. Well, in moderation anyway. Everyone knows what it's like when you have one too many and end up cuddling the toilet for an hour while the room stops spinning.

But a couple of drinks are great.

Twitter user Hayleigh Quinn shared this tweet which has given me a great idea for when I go to festivals this year. Nothing to do with sneaking alcohol in though, obviously.

How brilliant is that?!

Apparently, you can buy them on Amazon.

It's been retweeted thousands of times, with most people shocked that these things actually exist.

Fellow Twitter user Vikki even managed to find a whole set of hip flasks that were made to look like other things. Namely, a hairbrush, a can of Lynx and a mobile phone.

This is absolutely brilliant. Even if you don't use it for alcohol, you could keep other stuff in it, like spare cash or gravy or summat.

It all reminds me of that scene in Jurassic Park where he's got that fake can of whipped cream. Let's just hope that the Lynx works because that would be cool as fuck.

Let us know in the comment below if you've ever used any of these products and how good they are.

Rihanna Is Also A Hip Flask Lover

For some reason, I always thought that hip flasks were a bit lame. I don't know where I got this idea from. Maybe it was when we had our school prom and all the lads thought they were the dog's bollocks when they managed to sneak in some of their mum's Smirnoff. It made me cringe then, it makes me cringe now.

But, I'm going to have to eat my words because Rihanna is making them have a comeback. Although I'm sure the hipsters among you will be crying out at your screens: 'I've been using them for years!!!'. Alright, calm down.

Anyway, she didn't even try to hide it when she attended the Grammys and, of course, being Rihanna it was a pretty fancy hip flask:

The average hip-flask doesn't hold very much, though, so I think the reports of her getting 'hammered' are over-exaggerated, unless she had an additional stash of handbag vodka, which I wouldn't put past her at this point.
