Abstract
An apparatus and method that monitors the consumption of a beverage containing vessel, while the vessel is contained in a pack, bag, or pocket. The method for monitoring includes a sensor that collects data on the beverage withing the vessel, including initial fluid levels. The data may be broadcast to other devices where the data is analyzed to generate information, and it is displayed. The apparatus may consist of a battery, battery circuit, sensor circuit, temporary storage, sensor, and antenna. The initial fluid level may be determined by the sensor or a third party prior to use by the sensor circuit. Information created may include a warning of when the vessel will be empty relative to the activity of the user.
