ShotPak: Controversial and Convenient Booze

This is just a bad idea. Yay for convenience and they definitely get kudos for innovation, but this has 'inappropriate use' written all over it.

Oh please, this will entice kids to sneak alcohol into schools? Any teenage girl knows the easiest way to do this is pour out a plastic bottle of hair spray, run it through the dishwasher (top shelf) and then pour in vodka or other non-smelly alcohol. It will go right by teachers or those pesky security guards at concerts (don't believe me? Check your daughters purse!). Buy a soda at school or the rock venue and pour in your "hairspray".

You could put cheap vodka in any package including but not limited to a Hanna Montana commemorative sippy cup or an old boot, and underage drinkers would still be interested.

@bisbee - I tried to talk my brother into getting a bigass pinata for his kid's birthday party (dual party as they are 2 and 5) but he balked and went for boring Spongebob.

Party pooper.

These aren't really that much different than airplane bottles which are widely available.

@ag3208: I'm glad someone recognized this. ;) I should never write about booze since I'll never full understand why people drink it.

I love that the person who can't stand alcohol in any shape or form wrote an article about portable booze. Hi Robyn!

It's marketed toward the mid-20s crowd. I guess they are insinuating that age group is gullible. It's stupid to advertise this as earth friendly. There's a novel invention called a (hip) flask that's smaller than a large bottle and it's personal! *gasp*

If people that age are that pathetic that they can't go anywhere without alcohol or don't know how to have fun without alcohol, they really should just end their life. It doesn't get any better. Sheesh. *roll eyes*

These are pretty interesting, but a bottle of whisk(e)y is much more appropriate.

Who cares if they are enticing to underage drinkers. It's not the fun packaging that enticed me to drink when I was a teenager, it was that getting drunk is fun. No one cares what package it comes in be it a can of natty ice or a bottle of Evan Williams at that age.

the closest retailer to me is 398 miles away. Guess I better pack some coffee... and munchies for the...ROAD TRIP!!

and a bottle of whiskey is totally appropriate on a camping trip... everyone knows that you can't send your buddy out on a snipe hunt empty handed! DUH!

...Because we all know that kids don't start drinking until their 21st birthdays....it's called personal responsibility....jeez, only in America is an 18 year old mature enough to kill for the government, but too young to drink...

What a waste of packaging for such a small quantity of product - right into the landfill, or tossed onto the street. What's so hard about making up a bunch of shoots, bulk, with good ingredients, and serving those from a reusabel bottle, jug, etc... It's only a small time expense and would allow you to have a better tasting drink (you could use fresh juice, instead of some flavored/colored heat processed crap in a plastic/foil pack).

Just a thought...

I saw those at my down-the-block liquor/cheese/wine/beer shop! I did not even take a close look, but I will have to for kicks now.

I don't tend to look twice at bright colors or anything that says "Purple Shooter" but I know some stocking these will have to go in this year. Ha.

"A bottle of whiskey may not be appropriate on a camping trip"

Absolutely correct. I much prefer a bottle of pinot noir grappa.

"A bottle of whiskey may not be appropriate on a camping trip, but a shot or two?"

I'll have to let my friends know. ;)

I don't really see the big deal about it appealing to kids. They already sell tiny bottles of alcohol at every liquor store! But seriously, this looks awesome. I want to start a collection!
