Hipflasks

Are they pewter, and if so, whats a safe length of time to keep the whisky in it for? Cheers.
I just got a pewter one, and it says on the leaflet, 'Avoid storing spirits in your flask for a period longer than 24 hours'
Seems a bit short?

I carry my little Sunderland one allover. Usually full of something warming!
The warning on the pewter one is probably due to the content of various heavy metals. Pewter itself is a broad term though. Some alloys contain lead, and contact with some liquids would cause lead salts to form, and they're quite toxic. Britannia metal is antimony based instead of lead, so acidic liquids would release antimony salts, they cause some lavatorial distress! (lookup the everlasting pill) that being said I've drank from a pewter flask many times and had no ill effects... I don't think!
….well, funnily enough, I'm clearing cupboards, and I've just found three hipflasks. Stainless steel ones that I meant to fill with homemade sloe gin and put into Christmas parcels, and I forgot.
Send me an address Dave, and we'll call it Christmas Cheer
I'll wrap one up and tell the post office that it's just a tool

...Thats a very kind offer Mary thankyou. I dont want you getting arrested! But I'll be ok with this one, I think, its just warped [like me]
The brain is gone, the liver is shot, but the liquor, we still got....
Merry Xmas.
I've 3 on my desk from "regular" size, to shot size. I've never used them for no other reason than I never got around to buying a funnel and only drink spirits once or twice a year (i hate cheap whisky (which includes the likes of Jack Daniels) and can rarely justify a nice bottle. Even hibiki is too expensive for my liking (although did get a bottle reduced to clear for £12 in Tesco once )
)
I got a bunch of hip flasks dirt cheap many years ago and fill them for friends and rellies at Xmas ... the empties are returned in time for the next Xmas filling!
I fill them with home made Sloe Gin, Blackberry Brandy or Sloe Brandy usually....
I only carry a hip flask on solo overnighters - they are not big enough for company....

I like to take a hipflask out on winter overnighters - a little nip while sat by the fire is rather enjoyable!

Got a couple of the stainless Stanley ones. One is strictly for Port and the other is used for various whiskey/rum.
