I'm told those scuba tank-sized cups are mostly for, like, water or other cold beverage & I have to reiterate: It looks ridiculous & impractical.
There's something called "a bottle". Some of them are even thermo. You can drink from them like a grown-up, without a novelty straw. They don't have a giant handlebar because they're pretty ergonomically shaped & don't need one. One is often included when you buy a beverage.
