An Australian family has developed a convenient way to transport and drink alcohol this summer – and it can fit in your pocket, vehicle, car or caravan without the risk of breaking or spilling.
Launched in 2019 by Victorian father-son duo Wayne and Ashley, Standard compression is a $24.95 container made of HDPE plastic with a 30 ml chamber.
It is certified food grade to contain alcohol without leaching or damaging the contents. You simply fill out the reusable bottle with the alcohol of your choice, then put it away.
Then loosen the side cover of the small chamber and press the bottle. This forces the spirit up and into the chamber and measures a perfect standard drink of 30ml; if you want a stronger drink, you can squeeze it twice.
An Australian family has developed a convenient way to transport and drink alcohol this summer – and it can fit in your pocket, vehicle, car or caravan without the risk of breaking or spilling.
It also saves 50% weight compared to a full glass bottle of spirits, which is important when towing a caravan or packing light.
Wayne and Ashley regularly drink spirits when visiting friends and family, fishing or camping and often have to carry a full glass bottle of their favorite alcohol and a shot/nip pourer.
Alternatively, they had to buy pre-mixed drinks, which turned out to be quite expensive.
They would also struggle with the problem of glass often breaking, vibrating or rolling in the car or in the making of esky and free drinks, often making them too strong or too weak in flavor and alcohol percentage.
Launched in 2019 by Victorian father and son Wayne and Ashley, The Standard Squeeze is a $24.95 container made from HDPE plastic with a 30ml chamber.
It is certified food grade to hold alcohol without leaching or damaging the bottle. Simply fill the reusable bottle with the alcohol of your choice, then put it away.
So, one evening, sitting around a campfire, the idea of Standard compression was born.
THE original bottle gives you the ability to pour a standard drink, every time, easily, into a convenient and durable plastic container.
Two years later, the company established a brand with a loyal customer base, selling thousands of products. Standard squeeze bottles in Australia alone, selling wholesale to over 100 retail stores and creating complementary products.
These include broader options including the Double blow, XL, Cocktail Pack, Family Pack and stainless steel and vacuum sealed cups.
They also have cold which keeps your wine bottle cold for hours without any more sweat or water drops on the table.
It also helps you see exactly how much alcohol is left in the bottle with the measurements on the side, helping you more accurately gauge when it will be safe to drive a vehicle the next day.
In Australia, a standard drink contains 10 grams of pure alcohol or 30 ml of spirits at 40% ABV. Standard compression helps you stay responsible and stay under the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit.
It also helps you see the exact amount of alcohol remaining in the bottle with measurements on the side, allowing you to more accurately assess when it will be safe to drive a vehicle the next day.
“Our mission is to provide innovative, responsible or convenient solutions in the service, storage and consumption of alcohol,” the family said.
“Don’t drink and drive, don’t guess and know how much you’ve drunk, it’s simple.”
