This article is about an older version of DF.

Flasks are containers used by your dwarves to carry alcohol or water while on hunting or military duty. Flasks can be made of Template:L (by a Template:L at a Template:L), Template:L (by a Template:L at a Template:L, where they are called Template:Ls), and Template:L (by a Template:L at a Template:L, where they are called Template:Ls), all being functionally equivalent. Three flasks are created per job, so don't make the mistake of ordering the production of 15 waterskins for your military or you'll end up with 45 of them in total.

Flasks and waterskins can hold up to three units of alcohol or water. Alcohol is preferable to water though, as it prevents unhappy thoughts and doesn't freeze in low temperatures. Soldiers can be ordered to fill their waterskins/flasks from their specific squad menu.

When in adventurer mode, the water in the waterskin will freeze after some time in very cold weather. The resulting ice can be licked instead of drunk but doesn't quench thirst or melt from this action.

Glass vials are notable in that they are also used to make Template:L.
