Abstract: A sports bottle with contoured finger grooves for a better grip, a series of folds for preventing deformation of the bottle when squeezed by absorbing compressive forces, having a lid defining one-way air inflow orifices separate from a liquid outflow orifice, an integral straw member for directing liquids from within the bottle by either sucking or squeezing to the liquid outflow orifice, and a cap slidably attached to the straw member such that the liquid outflow orifice and the air inflow orifices are sealed when the cap is in the down position. The bottle allows the consumption of a liquid without tipping the bottle or interrupting consumption, and is adapted to open and close using only one hand.
