The shifter lever 33 is rotated as required, the driving bevel gear rigidly connected with the shifter lever is driven, the driving bevel gear rotates to drive the driven bevel gear meshed with the driving bevel gear, and the driven bevel gear rotates to drive the screw to rotate. The screw rotates to drive the slider nut in threaded connection with the screw to move downwards. The sliding plug body is pushed to move downwards under an acting force of the spring, and the ejecting pin on the gas nozzle is pushed to move downwards, and compressed gas (commonly being CO.sub.2) in the gas bottle is enabled to enter into the first chamber, high pressure is formed in the first chamber, the high pressure generates thrust and pushes the sliding plug body to move upwards, the elastic component (spring) located above the sliding plug body bears the force, and finally, balance is achieved between the gas pressure and the spring force. The gas is discharged from the first gas outlet 623 in the side wall of the first chamber and enters into the container chamber, and meanwhile enters into the gas flow channel 400 through the first gas hole so that pressure of the gas flow channel, the first chamber and the container chamber achieves balance (the same pressure). The pressure meter on the lid communicates with the gas flow channel and measures a pressure value. Internal pressure of the container is higher than an atmospheric pressure, the gas (CO.sub.2) fully enters into the beverage or beer, and then the taste of the beverage or beer is improved; and when drinking, the faucet is opened, the beverage or beer is discharged from the faucet through the straw under the action of the pressure.
