Abstract: A drinking vessel includes a tab/bottle cap/twist cap opener for aiding in the opening of a beverage can or bottle. For cans, the lip of the tab opener is slid underneath the tab to pry it upwards. A bottle cap opener pries open crown caps and a twist-top opener holds twist-top caps. The tab/bottle cap/twist cap opener can be formed integrally to a drinking vessel, on a bottom plate secured to a drinking vessel, as a stand-alone opener or as part of a novelty item such as a picture frame, coaster, or sports article such as a hockey puck or racing wheel, or a picture frame.
