Drinking face masks were one of the most innovative things we discovered last year, and they’re still as handy as ever (unfortunately). Yup, they sound just as weird as you think they are, but TBH they’re kind of brilliant. Confused about what the heck a drinking face mask is? We were too. To break it down, a drinking (or eating) mask has a small hole with a removable cover or a zippered mouth section that lets you eat or drink without taking off your mask. Consider our minds blown — just like when we found out about these chic face mask lanyards.
While we may have chuckled at the idea at first, the person who came up with this invention is probably laughing at us now — because people are using them. So, next time you’re running errands and you’re parched, you can take a swig sans removing your face mask. Or, if you’ve still felt uneasy having a socially distant drink with a friend, a drinking face mask is here to give you some more peace of mind while enjoying your go-to glass of vino. When it comes down to it, we were once uncomfortable wearing plain old face masks, and now we’re addicted to finding the most stylish ones.
While Etsy certainly doesn’t fail us when it comes to fun drinking-mask options (can we talk about this pearl-adorned one?), we were excited to see an alcohol brand getting in on the action. I mean, who could resist a cocktail with a matching face mask? Alcohol brand Crook & Marker did just that, and we bow down to them. To help you stay hydrated or indulge in your favorite beverage, enlist one of these best drinking face masks. Cheers!
