  Okay, at first I was skeptical about the Rothbard flask, but the fact that it says "Enemy Of The State" has won me over. I love it!

  In the movie Enemy of the State, Gene Hackman's character looks quite a bit like Rothbard.

  Looks nice! Although a more luxury product in silver (or plated as such) would also be great and highly appropiate and ontopic.

  Jeff,

  I need something to carry my Glenlivet around, don't like to carry a huge bottle. I'll be the first one to buy this!!!

  I want to add my praise to the chorus. An, "Enemy of The State" flask is money.

  It would be great if this can be available by Father's Day, inasmuch as I am a father, and this is what I would like to get.

  Lol. I don't drink, but if I did I'd buy one.

  I can only support this endeavor if the Mises institute produces a Mises cigarb, a Hayek bong and a Bohm-Bawerk meth lab 'do-it-yourself' kit.

  Imagine getting a DUI with this bad boy on you.

  This is a glorious idea!

  I will certainly be buying one seeing that any alcohol consumption on my part is against the state, me being 20, and though I can do everything else the state and its thugs continue to disallow me from freely purchasing and consuming alcohol. It will be perfect for bringing my Jameson to parties and will hopefully create a lot of conversation starters about Rothbard and Mises.org

  I will certainly be purchasing one

  I need a new flask...and Rothbard is my hero.

  Beautiful.

  I don't drink but still like to give it as a gift to my friends who do drink and get screwed by the policeman here in my state of Gujarat, India, where alcohol is banned by the State government.

  I've never found a need for a flask - but I would buy this one for sure.

  It looks great and I'll probably buy one.

  Looks good, but I don't drink anything you'd put in a flask. If you really want a protest, you should make an "iron maiden money clip".

  Even in Belgium, we would love to buy some of these flasks from you! (And please print some more dollars, America, that 18$ wil eventually become less than 10€...)

  The Boston tea party this flask would represent to me may not be as recognized but is a step in the right direction. I'll take two. In silver would be cool.

  I'll order AT LEAST one.

  When will the LvMI offer an "Enemy of the State" mason jar?

  I don't think I have seen this sort of response to many product offerings.

  Fantastic. I would definitely get one.

  Cigarette cases next.... ;)

  Here is a serious quesiton. Is a flask considered an "open container" under the law? Where I live they frequently have DUI roadblocks.

  Published: May 19, 2009 3:32 PM

• Dan Spielberg

  I'd buy at least one for sure! I was thinking I needed a flask just the other day.

  Published: May 19, 2009 3:35 PM

  you should have a series of these, with different design options. but for sure i would buy this!

  Published: May 19, 2009 3:44 PM

  I will buy multiple. Send in the order!!!

  I have to admit that it looks good. I was pretty sure it would turn out to be a horrible idea, but it is actually pretty stylish.

  Published: May 19, 2009 4:06 PM

• Geoffrey S.

  The flask looks much better than I imagined it looking. If I was more of a drinker than I am now, I would order the flask.

  Published: May 19, 2009 4:14 PM

  I love it and will buy at least five!

  On the reverse side you could put and arrow pointing to the neck which says, "Secede Here." Also, I'm working on a camo cover for the flask.

  I'll place may order as soon as you make it possible.

  Hmm makes me want to start drinking more.

  I kind of wish it had a quote on it but I guess I shouldn't be too picky.

  Published: May 19, 2009 5:22 PM

• Brad Warbiany

  I like it! Unfortunately, I'm not much of a hard liquor drinker, and likewise don't transport liquor with me much.

  You put that on pint glasses, though, and I'll buy a set of 4.

  Published: May 19, 2009 5:55 PM

  Wouldn't a Rothbard bong for smoking marijuana have been more appropriate, given that alcohol is already legal?

  How bout a Rothbard revolver with Rothbard ammo.

  Any plans for a Rothbard bong? Now *that* would make a bold statement.

• Xander

  I definitely want one.

  Published: May 20, 2009 3:21 PM

• Alexander S. Peak

  I'm going to go against the grain on this one and say I have no intention whatsoever to buy this. I also would not buy the "Rothbard revolver" or "Hayek bong" or anything else of this nature being suggested by other responders. I have extremely little money as it is, and what little money I do have I wish to spend on books.

  With that said, I do think the idea is cool. If there is demand for it, go for it.

  Cheers,
  Alex Peak

• Misesian

  I do think the flask idea is great. I don't want to sound like a douche...and a party pooper, but some of you guys that are asking for some bizarre items, I don't think have thought it through...hopefully most you are just kidding. Seriously...A BONG with Rothbard or Mises?

  The flask, I think is as far as Mises.org should go.

  Published: May 20, 2009 9:12 PM

• Vanmind

  Good stuff, and I concur about the bong idea. Also, consider putting Rothbard's name on this flask.

  Published: May 20, 2009 9:53 PM

  I drink pretty rarely -- and have never owned a flask in my life -- but I would buy one for those rare occasions when I do want to take some "Virginia Gentleman" bourbon with me to sporting events, especially UVA and Ole Miss football games. And I would buy several for my friends. It would be a great addition to the Mises Institute online store.

  Published: May 20, 2009 10:09 PM

• Alexander S. Peak

  Let's think about this for more than five second. As much as I'm sure some of our pot-smoking friends would enjoy a LvMI bong, how would marketing such an item make the Austrian School look to the defenders of Establishment "economics"? They'll just say, "See? Austrians are a bunch of dope-heads. That's why they stupidly cling to these antequated concepts of market liberalism. That's why they fail to recognise that Keynesianism saved us from the Great Depression."

  Now I'll readily grant that such an argument would be specious, and that one can be both a recreational marijuana consumer and have a top-notch scientific mind. But nevertheless we must all admit that this is the sort of anti-Austrian propoganda we would see emerge. I would never personally reject the Austrian school nor the LvMI for the sale of such an item, but I generally think it a bad idea.

  Respectfully,
  Alex Peak
