ABSTRACT:
Drinking access to the contents of a beverage container, having a non-removable opening lift tab, is enhanced by the formation of an air access opening in the container adjacent the beverage access opening. The beverage container top has a first scored section which is opened by the lift tab for access to the contained beverage. The beverage container top further includes a second scored section diametrically opposed to the first scored section which is opened by the same lift tab. The lift tab is swiveled and used to open the second scored section to provide the requisite air access opening, if drinking directly from the container is desired. The lift tab can be rotated to the side of the openings, if desired, to eliminate impedance of direct drinking from the container. The second scored section is sized to permit sufficient air to enter the container to cause the beverage contained in the container to flow in a strong steady stream when the opened first scored section is sealed from the air by the drinker's mouth during drinking.
