Great way to hide your alcoholism!
Generally, when going to festivals, concerts, or weddings, there are four options when it comes to alcohol- 1. Pay the $8 domestic beer price 2. Sneak a metal flask in 3. Drink before going in 4. Don't drink. If you are already looking at Amazon for a flask, we can rule out 4 as an option. Drinking before going in sucks as you sober up as the show begins or drink so much that security won't let you in. Speaking of security, now it seems like before a show, you have to get patted down and get wand with a metal detector, so no matter how far in your crevasse you put the metal flask, they will still find it. Finally, services fees are so high and are completely arbitrary that you feel like you need a drink after paying $12 for a delivery charge of tickets that you're printing on your own printer. So I would recommend bringing this "sunscreen" in to protect your wallet and protest the high cost of events.So how does this stack up?Discreet- This bottle looks exactly like an off brand sunscreen you'd pick up at Wal-Mart with real text that would be on an actual sunscreen bottle. It's also pretty easy to open, only producing a minor click sound when open the bottle. It's not that hard to sneakily pour the contents in a drink. It's also easy, but not discreet, to drink straight from the bottle. Although you'd look odd drinking from a sunscreen bottle it does work. It'll be weird having to explain to your kids why you are drinking from a sunscreen bottle, I'd figure they understand that that's why they live with their mom. Overall with being discreet, I'd give it A.Materials- This bottle is made of the same plastic on sun screen bottles. While others have experience leeks, I have not. There is some resistance when closing the cap, so it'd be safe if you have in a bag that has other items putting pressure on the bottle. However, I wouldn't sit on the bottle as this would force open the cap. The funnel is made of cheap plastic and is pretty small, so I feel that I'd eventually lose it, but it is fine for the job and could MacGyver a funnel after losing it. 4/5Overall/Ease of use- This product is a bit of a pain to load, due to the small funnel and hole. It is pretty easy to spill a little on your hand when filling, but not a substance amount. I found that for the few times I do go out to events that I do want to drink alcohol, this product is an excellent way to sneak what I actually want to drink in and avoid the overprice cost of event alcohol. Additionally, this product is price pretty cheaply compared to other similar items on Amazon. Overall score- Crown Royal out of Canadian Whiskeys.

They look great and are completely believable, but one leaks unfortunately. If the caps are improved, they'd be 5 star.
I bought these during the summer of 2017. Great idea and these do look like the 'real thing', but as others have pointed out, they leak. Well, in my case, one leaks and one does not. The problem is the small hole where the 'lotion' would come out of if these were real. Mine does not leak around the threaded portion of the cap but rather from the hole where the lotion would be dispensed from. Since lotion is thick I assume the cap does work fine for not allowing thick fluid to leak but when you put in thin watery liquid like booze, it just can't hold it in.So, while they did get me my booze into some water parks like I had hoped for, I had to be too careful to place them upright and if they tilted too much in my wifes bag, game over. The smell was present and noticeable.

Works Really Well!!
I purchased these for an upcoming cruise. I read other reviews where some said the bottles leak. I tested them with water for 2 nights. I laid them on the side the first night and the next night I left them upright. I also shook them vigorously. They didn't leak leaving them overnight but they did leak a teeny, tiny bit when I shook them. The key is to not completely fill them up to the top. Hold the bottle with the cap facing down over your cup for minimal waste. I know these hold 8 ounces but the bottles appear larger than that. The plastic is a little thin and the funnel is very small. I luckily have a larger funnel that fits the bottles perfectly. I will cover the openings with Glad Press n Seal before screwing the caps on and place them in a plastic zip bag. Hopefully that will help with the small amount of leakage I encountered.**Update to first review** I brought these to tailgate at a Jimmy Buffett concert. They held up very well in our cooler on the 45 minute car ride there. These bottles didn't leak a drop. I placed a small piece of Glad Press N Seal over the opening and then screwed the flip caps on. We had some booze left over in each bottle and they still held up well the next day when I took them out to clean them. Very impressed. I'm hoping they hold up just as well on our cruise that's quickly approaching. Thanks!

Perfect flasks! (Bootleg bottle seals prevent leaking too)
These flasks are great, and perfect for any outdoor event where you want to save money on pricey booze! I've used my flasks repeatedly at many events and have easily got more than my moneys worth from them. I've used them at multiple festivals, baseball/football games, beach days and anywhere else where the sun shines and sipping on an adult beverage may be desired. I like to pour the contents into a cup after getting through security, to be more discreet, but I have also drank my booze straight from the bottle like I'm Charlie Kelly from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It may look strange to others, but it is a great conversation starter and will likely make you a new friend or two. Just keep an eye out for security to ensure you don't get caught, but I have yet to be noticed by authorities and I have used these flasks for a couple years now (knocks on wood).As far as leaking goes. I have never had that problem with my bottles, as long as you are ensure the cap is locked on. If you have that issue, or that is a big concern and deters you from purchasing then just do what I did and spend the extra $7 on the bootleg bottle seals and your problem will be easily solved. It also gives you peace of mind if you run into a wise security guard who may want to pop the top to make sure you're not bringing in prohibited alcohol, and will definitely be worth the extra money spent.Overall this is a great purchase, and well worth the money for any social drinker who wants to save on expensive alcohol at events!!
