    Default Fun question

    Been tasked by little sister with creating a vessel to sneak vodka into a nightclub. Sort of a makeshift hipflask. As far as I'm aware vodka reacts with copper, but favourably? Since it's use in the distillation process? So presumably that wouldn't be an issue. But would like to be sure I won't poison her. Haven't got any speedfit in 22.

    My first thought is to have 5/6 inches of 22mm copper, cap on the bottom, buttefly valve on top for dispensing. Any improvements?

    they search your bag in nightclubs these days, in glasgow anyhow. You get away with that in pubs, but not nightclubs :P

    lol sneaking vodka into a nightclub ? thats not the kinda stuff I'm used to sneaking in haha. Emmm I'm not sure about copper reacting with the vodka but I couldn't see it poisoning her...but I'm not a vodka distiller

    I would not go out with a bit of copper in my pocket,might attract others for a little scrap,get into enough trouble as it is,could see not get a bra made in that cloth that absorbs 50 times its own weight,if anyone said anything could just say she was expressing

    A small hot water heater in the ladies? Connected from the outside via some 22mm sent up the wall to the roof where you'd have a CWSC you could top up on a monthly basis ... You could have a BALL valve and a vodka meter (adapted from a Severn Trent water meter) so you could measure the consumption and charge accordingly. Or are you looking for a portable device?

    Happy New Year!!
