Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a beverage dispenser system and method that provides a plurality of single-serving beverage containers that are each independently connected to a connection system. The containers are sold as a single unit and can be opened without compromising the freshness and usefulness of the remaining containers. The connection system allows for easy transportation and preserves the freshness and usefulness of the containers. The beverage containers can be colored based on themes or sold in a variety pack. The connection system is aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. The technical effects of the invention include providing a plurality of single-serving beverage containers that can be each opened independently, providing a connection system that enables the combination of containers in a single unit, and providing a plurality of connection systems that allow for easy selection based on intended use of the containers."

Problems solved by technology

In view of this regulation, alcohol-bottling companies utilize bottles that are sized to correspond with the permitted standards of fill, which are inconvenient for a number of reasons.
The bottles provided are typically large, which is not ideal for consumption by a single consumer at any one time.
Likewise, these larger bottles are not adapted to allow consumption directly therefrom.
Further, the shape and size of a standard bottle can be awkward and transportation thereof may be inconvenient.
Such smaller-sized bottles, however, do not comply with state and federal regulations.
