While the legal drinking age is 21, curiosity often leads some students to experiment with alcohol before reaching that milestone. This curiosity sometimes results in creative attempts to bring alcohol to events like prom, despite strict school rules.
One such creative attempt came from a girl named Eleanor, whose ingenuity has since captured the internet's attention. While we certainly don’t encourage such behavior, Eleanor’s clever plan left many impressed by her resourcefulness.

Eleanor attended prom with a group of friends and posed for photos like any other student. However, one small detail set her apart: she was holding a large metallic hip flask. The twist? She cleverly styled it as a part of her outfit, using it in place of a clutch bag. The flask’s sleek design made it blend seamlessly into her prom look, making it appear as though it was just another fashion accessory.

Remarkably, her clever disguise went unnoticed by everyone—until Eleanor decided to reveal her secret online. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), she shared the story, saying, “Still don’t know how I got away with a huge hip flask as my prom clutch.” The post quickly went viral, with thousands applauding her ingenuity.
The hip flask, which Eleanor reportedly bought for $12 at Tiger, may or may not have contained alcohol—no one knows for sure. What is certain, however, is that her bold move has earned her a moment of internet fame.
As these students prepare to move on to new chapters in their lives, we wish them all the best. Eleanor’s story is a reminder that a little creativity can make a big splash—though we encourage everyone to follow the rules.
Feel free to share this story with your friends and family!
