ABSTRACT:
An improved beverage container is provided, and has a top wall, a bottom wall, a side wall extending between and being integrally connected to the top and bottom walls. The side wall contains thumb and finger receiving portions which can be detented by applying pressure or by releasing pressure within the container. The thumb and finger receiving portions are oriented for gripping by a person's thumb and fingers. One of the finger receiving portions is positioned below an opening in the top wall of the container such that the container is automatically oriented for drinking or pouring when grasped by a person. The shape of the container can be that of a typical beverage can or plastic bottle. Circular rims adjacent the top and bottom walls of the container allow dispensing from conventional beverage machines.
