You know that awkward period at family get-togethers, in between taking off your coat and being drunk? I hate those five minutes.

But now I don't have to, thanks to the invention of this flat, disposable hip flask from Restoration Hardware.

The flasks are fully portable, freezable, and will hold seven and a half shots of your favorite hooch. (That's about enough to get me through "Why won't you say grace? Are you an atheist?" but not quite enough for "You still don't have a boyfriend? Are you a gay atheist?" I'll bring two). The site's product info invites you to use these ditchable Wild Turkey sacks to "enliven any event." You know, like driver's ed, PTA meetings and Tuesday. They're recyclable, but it's not like you care.

So if you're a flaky boozer, shopping for me, or bringing home an ethnic boyfriend, pick up one of these amazing inventions. Happy holidays! (via Wired)
