An inverted liquid-dispensing container is described. The inverted liquid-dispensing container provides for improved dosing of liquid compositions, especially at low dosage volumes, while being more resistant to leakage, even for low viscosity liquids. The inverted liquid-dispensing container comprises a series of walls appropriately sized and spaced to allow for more accurate dosing while also reducing the likelihood of leakage.

A drinking assembly, such as a water bottle or a drinkware, having a drinking vessel and a lid assembly attached to the drinking vessel, such as by threads. The drinking vessel can have a double-wall construction. The lid assembly can have a control assembly to open and close a drink opening and a vent opening. The lid assembly can be removed from the body of the lid to enable cleaning. The control arm of the control assembly can pivot or rotate to impart an axial motion on an actuator to open the drink opening and the vent opening.
