ABSTRACT:
A one-piece detachable drinking attachment for use with metal beverage cans comprising a top portion having a substantially cylindrical wall, an integral base that has a plurality of annular gripping collars of different diameters, for obtaining a substantially liquid-tight connection among various can top diameters, and an approximately C-shaped integral handle, so that when such drinking attachment is attached to a beverage can, the fluid contents of the can flow to the drinker. An optional configuration is also disclosed that further includes the emergence of a substantially cylindrical skirt from along the base extending downward from the exterior circumference of the base along the outer sidewall of the beverage can, and an approximately C-shaped integral handle emanating from the outer wall of the smoothly curved top portion extending downward along the outer wall of the skirt to a point at which the bottom of the handle reunites with the skirt.
