So it's hot as sheeeit and I'm a really thirsty guy and I've been using a convenience store type 64oz mug for the past few years to hold my ice water while I'm at work. Like this one:

It works great but it kinda looks stupid and has started to get old. So, as my mug and I mature, I realize that I need to put more of a sophisticated image forward on the job and I also need a ton of water that stays cool all day. So, can you guys recommend me a 64oz insulated beverage container, that requires no unscrewing of a cap or secondary cup to access the water, that looks a bit nicer than the aforementioned hobo cup?
I found a decent looking Bubba mug:

That I would consider perfect except it only holds 52oz. Have you seen anything similar that can hold more H2O?
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I have that Bubba Keg and like it. They have a larger one but it doesn't have a side handle. It has a top handle and looks more like a Coleman.
 
i recently bought a hydroflask (Removed) and am really pleased with it. it's not mug-oriented though, more like a conventional water bottle to compete with kleen kanteens and nalgenes, etc. the hydroflask has been really great though and indeed does work to keep liquids chilled all day.

Is a Camelbak out of the question? This small one happens to be 100oz. It may be a way to carry more EDC too.

Why not get a cheap 1 gallon pour cooler and a smaller bottle to carry? You can just top it off as it's needed and it would be a lot lighter to carry around than 60+oz of water.

I have one, I love it. Been using it for a few years in the summer time. I started to use the 32oz Nalgene bottles too, have about 4 of those.

I haven't tried the bladder type hydration yet, but my packs have that option available. The pack I carry to school always has a wide mouth 32oz. Nalgene bottle in one of the drink pockets, I leave the other drink holder open (the pack has 2 mesh pockets on either side for drinks) for the drink that I bring with, mostly so I can sling the pack off one arm and put my drink in the empty drink holder to use the restroom at school. lol

For the drink I carry, I went with a Nalgene 24oz. OTG bottle, but the top flip cover broke within a couple of weeks. It still works good, it just has an narrow drink-spout lid with no cap. Here is a link to Nalgene that shows the type that I have. (am not trying to hijack your thread, I just thought I would add in what I use)

Here is a picture of the pack that I use for school (so you can see the mesh pocket that holds those 32oz Nalgene bottles((note how you can route the compression strap through the loop of the Nalgene lid for retention)). I cant use the water bladders because I always have the inside of the pack stuffed with books.

All great ideas and I actually have most of the other suggestions you guys offered. That's how I know an insulated-big-ass-mug is the best thing for me. Gotta love those camelbaks for hunting though, no stopping for a drink and no sloshing canteens.
