Get the beardly mug.A person or people who accompany somebody who is too cheap to buy his own drinks at a bar and instead brings a flask of alcohol and orders soft drinks. The "flask beards" accompany the flask-bearer, ordering enough alcoholic drinks to disguise the fact that the flask-bearer is totally dumping outside liquor in his diet Coke. Typically the flask-bearer compensates his flask beards at a rate of about 25%, which provides incentive for the flask beards.
