Claim 6:
7. A hydration container comprised of a container assembly and a capsule assembly;
the container assembly has an open interior volume that contains a hydrating liquid;
within a base of the container assembly is an electronic means to determine the volume of hydrating liquid inside the container assembly at a first point in time;
the electronic means determines the volume of liquid inside the container assembly at the first point in time and compares the volume of liquid inside the container at a second point in time and produces a notification if a rate of consumption of the liquid is less than a predetermined rate;
the capsule assembly is comprised of a cup and a cap;
the cup contains an adjuvant that is selectively introduced into the hydrating liquid prior to consumption by a user;
the capsule assembly further comprises an outer cup and a lid assembly;
the outer cup fits into a neck of the container assembly;
the outer cup is fixed to the neck preventing the outer cup from rotating axially within the neck;
the lid assembly seals an upper opening of the cup;
the lid assembly is fixed to the cup so that the lid assembly rotates with the cup;
a bottom surface of the cup has a first aperture;
a bottom surface of the outer cup has a second aperture and a plug;
the cup is fit into and rotates coaxially inside the outer cup between a sealed mode and an open mode;
in the sealed mode the first aperture is sealed by the plug effectively sealing the adjuvant in the cup and in the open mode the first aperture is aligned with the second aperture providing fluid communication between the cup and the container assembly;
an inner diameter of the outer cup is greater than the outer diameter of the cup so that the liquid in the container assembly flows through the second aperture then between the outer cup and cup then through an aperture on the lid assembly then through an aperture in the cap where the liquid is dispensed;
the base of the container assembly is separable from a bottom rim of the container assembly providing access to the interior of the container assembly.
