Who invented Hip Flasks?

The invention of the hip flask is not attributed to a single individual. It is believed to have originated in the 18th century, primarily in Europe. The hip flask was designed to discreetly carry small amounts of alcohol, often spirits like whiskey or brandy. Initially made of materials such as pewter, silver, or glass, modern hip flasks are typically made of stainless steel. While there isn't a specific inventor credited with its creation, its design has evolved over time to become a common accessory for those who wish to carry a small amount of liquor conveniently.
