A drink bottle comprising; a. a container for containing a liquid and a removable lid, b. the container having an open end and the lid being removably connected to the open end, the lid comprising an inner lid and an outer lid, with the outer lid being shiftable relative to the inner lid between closed and open positions. c. a resiliently flexible drinking spout or straw assembly being mounted in the lid for extraction of liquid from within the container through the spout or straw assembly, d. an actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) for actuating a function of the drink bottle, the actuator being slidably mounted to the inner lid for sliding movement between a home position and an actuation position, the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) having a push face (27, 46, 56) accessible from outside the lid for receiving finger pressure for displacing the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) from the home position toward the actuation position for performing a function of the drink bottle, e. the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) cooperating with the outer lid in the closed position of the outer lid to retain the outer lid in the closed position and movement of the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) from the home position to the actuation position releasing that cooperation so that the outer lid is released to shift to the open position, f. the actuator(26, 45, 55, 68) having a bearing surface in bearing engagement with the spout or straw such that movement of the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) from the home position towards the actuation position resiliently deforms the spout or strawand by the resilient deformation the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) is biased towards the home position. a. a container for containing a liquid and a removable lid, b. the container having an open end and the lid being removably connected to the open end, the lid comprising an inner lid and an outer lid, with the outer lid being shiftable relative to the inner lid between closed and open positions. c. a resiliently flexible drinking spout or straw assembly being mounted in the lid for extraction of liquid from within the container through the spout or straw assembly, d. an actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) for actuating a function of the drink bottle, the actuator being slidably mounted to the inner lid for sliding movement between a home position and an actuation position, the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) having a push face (27, 46, 56) accessible from outside the lid for receiving finger pressure for displacing the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) from the home position toward the actuation position for performing a function of the drink bottle, e. the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) cooperating with the outer lid in the closed position of the outer lid to retain the outer lid in the closed position and movement of the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) from the home position to the actuation position releasing that cooperation so that the outer lid is released to shift to the open position, f. the actuator(26, 45, 55, 68) having a bearing surface in bearing engagement with the spout or straw such that movement of the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) from the home position towards the actuation position resiliently deforms the spout or strawand by the resilient deformation the actuator (26, 45, 55, 68) is biased towards the home position.
