Abstract: A container identifier and method for identifying containers are provided. The container identifier may have a tab and a slit. The tab on the container identifier may have a grip located between the tab and in contact with the container. The container identifier distinguishes between beverage containers and, by use of the slit, may be adjusted to fit different size containers. The identifier may fit a container, such as, for example, a bottle or a can to identify a user of the container. The identifier may be shaped as a ring-like object, a helmet, an animal or the like. Further, the identifier may have indicia relating to, for example, products, a school, a team, an organization or the like.
