Where to buy a flask late at night

Weird problem here.
It's 1am here, and I'm getting picked up for a trip to Hawaii in four hours, at 5am.
For various reasons, I've decided a flask would make my vacation there more enjoyable. I went out to a liquor store to buy one a few hours ago, but after I decided at the last moment to also buy some wine and Jack Danie'ls, the cashier caught amnesia and forgot to ring up the actual flask we'd spent ten minutes chatting about.
Now it's late and I'm back in my room without a flask. Is there anywhere that'd sell a flask this late?
Bonus question: is there anything special I should know about flying with alcohol, or can I just put it in my checked luggage like anything else?

I'm going to be camping basically the whole time, and when I'm not I'm going to be depending on my friend's parents for transportation. I just thought things would go over smoother if I got the flask here instead of asking them to pull over at a liquor store five minutes after meeting me.
I'll check my Walmart's hours.
Then again, I've never been to an airport and all my knowledge of such things are from movies so there's that.

Please note: Store hours are subject to change. Please contact the store for their current hours of operation.
Yeah, Wal-Mart is like that. You actually have to call the store in order to get their hours of operation - I just tried calling them and nobody is picking up the line, so I somehow think it may not be 24 hours.
But, as a ridiculously frequent traveler myself, Helpless Rock has it right. I'm almost certain that there will be a store in the airport for you to pick one up, either on your departure or arrival.

EDIT:
If you want to fly with a buzz, your best bet is to get a little tipsy beforehand but that's not exactly a great idea given that you can certainly be denied boarding for being drunk. If you're going to be a quiet, polite drunk that doesn't reek of it, get rowdy or impatient with people and generally keep to yourself, you could do it just fine. Don't be a dick though, they will not take it.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH

Last time I flew I had a 20oz Coke bottle from the terminal and no one on the plane seemed to care
It's really a YMMV situation. I know that I had to throw away my sealed liquid acetaminophen softcaps before boarding my Sydney-San Francisco flight, but on the SFO-CHI flight I brought a bottle of water from the cafe and they didn't say shit.

If you brought it from home, tough shit unless they just happen to miss it as you go through.
That's actually a very good point. Anything purchased beyond the Point-Of-No-Return (Customs/Security) is usually okay as it's already been screened by Airport Security - I know that they have stickers in SYD on the vending machines to the tune of 'You are permitted to take beverages purchased from this machine on flights.'
