I've a question and was thinking of a combo that would be a fast potion drinker. I looked thru the books and came up with a Tiefling with prehensile tail. Basically you carry a potion with your tail and then with Accelerated Drinker trait and Potion Glutton feat can you drink the potion as a swift action or can it be argued that the potion is being carried by the tail and isn't in your hands like Accelerated Drinker requires it to be?

It has to be in your hands at the beginning of the round, tail doesn't count. However, it's still useful to have, you just use it like this;
Before combat: carry a potion in your hands.
Combat starts (no surprise): do something as a Standard, drink another potion as a Move with Accelerated Drinker, then use your tail as a Swift to draw another potion in your hand.
Second round: drink the potion you tail-fetched into your hands the previous round.
As for the Potion Glutton feat: it doesn't really combine with the Tail, because you can't spend a Standard or Move action as a Swift action. There's no way I know of to perform more than one Swift action in a round.
Basically, Tail+Accelerated is good, Potion Glutton is good, but having both is redundant.
#1 you need the tail feat to actually hold items with your tail.
#2 you can't manipulate items other than hold.
Since a potion has to be in hand at start of your turn, you'd have to put it in your hand at the end of your last round.
The whole thing that the tail does is fetch an item AND put it into your hand as a Swift action. It's quite unclear if you can just hold it in your tail.
It's in the rules for Grasping Tail + prehensile tail.
"you can hold such objects with your tail, though you cannot manipulate them with your tail (other than to put them in your hand)."

Would you allow a tiefling with the tail alternate racial trait plus grasping tail be allowed to use a metamagic rod since to use a rod you only need to hold it?

It LITERALLY states "you can hold such objects with your tail". I can't see a reason NOT to follow the writing on the page and allow it.
Could you not use your tail to grab a flask and toss it on the adjacent square
No, that isn't one of the allowed actions. At best (Grasping Tail + Prehensile Tail) you can pick up unattended items within 5' and stowed objects. You have the option to hold those items or put them in your hand. That's it.
Just for fluff I put my Mutation Warrior's Tentacle on his butt and claim it is a prehensile tail. If you wanted to drink potions Vestigial Arm might work out better since it specifically has a "hand". Alchemists can make potions, so one who can also drink them super fast might be amusing.
