The drinking fluid container includes a first enclosure, a second enclosure, and a handle that fixes to the first and second enclosures. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A drinking fluid container comprising: a first enclosure defining a first interior fluid volume; a second enclosure defining a second interior fluid volume; a handle that fixes the first enclosure to the second enclosure, the handle including a fluid channel that communicably couples the first fluid volume to the second fluid volume; and a first aperture in the first enclosure configured to allow a user of the water bottle to drink a fluid from the first enclosure. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, wherein the handle includes: a first end; a second end; first grooves disposed at the first end; and second grooves disposed at the second end, wherein the first grooves and the second grooves are configured to fix the first and second enclosures to the handle. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, wherein the first enclosure includes third grooves configured to mate with the first or second grooves and wherein the second enclosure includes fourth grooves configured to mate with the first or second grooves. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The drinking fluid container of claim 3, wherein the second enclosure includes fourth grooves configured to mate with the first or second grooves. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, wherein the handle includes a grip portion between the first and second ends, the grip portion being configured to facilitate gripping the handle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, including a cap configured to cover the first aperture such that the fluid cannot exit the first enclosure through the aperture when the cap covers the first aperture. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, where first and second enclosures and the handle collectively have a dumbbell shape when assembled together. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, including a drinking lip coupled to the aperture and configured to facilitate drinking from the first enclosure. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The drinking fluid container of claim 8, including a drinking nozzle configured to resiliently protrude from the first enclosure when the cap is removed from the first aperture. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The drinking fluid container of claim 9, wherein the cap is resiliently coupled to the first enclosure such that the cap tends to move back to cover the aperture when displaced from the aperture. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, wherein the cap is configured to screw onto the first enclosure to cover the first aperture. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, wherein the first and second enclosures include a hexagonal cross section. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1, wherein the first and second enclosures include a circular cross section. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The drinking fluid container of claim 1 wherein the first enclosure includes a hollow air chamber separated from the first interior fluid volume by a first wall. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The drinking fluid container of claim 14 wherein the second enclosure includes a hollow air chamber separated from the second interior fluid volume by a second wall. ### Claim 16 A drinking fluid container kit comprising: a first enclosure including: a first interior fluid volume; a first aperture configured to allow a fluid into or out of the first interior fluid volume; a lip positioned at the aperture and configured to facilitate a user drinking the fluid via the aperture; and a first connector having a second aperture; a second enclosure including: a second interior fluid volume; and a second connector having a third aperture; a handle including: a first end having a third connector configured to mate with either the first or second connector; a second end having a fourth connector configured to mate with either the first or second connector; an interior channel configured to being communicably coupled to the first and the second interior fluid volumes when the handle is fixed to the first and second enclosures by mating the first the connector with the third connector and by mating the second connector with the fourth connector; and a first cap configured to cover the first lip. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The drinking fluid container kit of claim 16 wherein the first, second, third, and fourth connectors include threading configured to allow the handle to be screwed to the first and second connectors. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The drinking fluid container of claim 16 wherein the second fluid enclosure includes: a fourth aperture configured to allow a fluid into or out of the first interior fluid volume; and a second lip positioned adjacent to the fourth aperture and configured to facilitate a user drinking the fluid via the fourth aperture. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The drinking fluid container of claim 18 including a second cap configured to fix to the second lip such that the fluid cannot exit the fourth aperture when the second cap is fixed to the second lip. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The drinking fluid container of claim 19 wherein the handle includes a grip configured to facilitate griping the handle without slippage. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The drinking fluid container of claim 20, wherein the first cap includes: a straw configured to extend through the first fluid volume, through the handle, and into the second fluid volume when the first cap is coupled to the first lip; and a nozzle communicably coupled to the straw and configured to enable a user to suck a fluid from the second fluid volume through the straw.
