Though you really shouldn't have to rely on alcohol to gain confidence, it certainly relaxes your nerves and socially lubricates you enough to go up to that pretty girl/handsome dude at the party. There's nothing to be ashamed of; this is why most people drink at parties! You might as well be up front about it with this tongue-in-cheek flask that says exactly what's on your mind.

Party goers are bound to find this flask with "Liquid Courage" emblazoned on it endearing and honest, making it a perfect conversation starter as you're taking swigs of booze or spiking the punch.
