If you want to be pedantic, it's a flask.

Isn't a flask what you keep liquor in when you're on the go?

Well, if you want to be even more pedantic :)D) the thing is an Erlenmeyer Flask. But technically a flask can refer to any container with a neck (including the one you carry your booze in), where a beaker is just open at the top.
