How do you drink from your bottle?

I'm probably unusual in my drinking habits on a bike, but I never liked typical bike bidons Mainly because I don't like either squrting the drink into my mouth or sucking on the nipple.

I know that's why baby's cry so much, they just can't get enough out of a nipple and are constantly thirsty/hungry. And that's me too. So I unscrew the top and take a drink so I can gulp it down and feel more satisfied.

I use drink bottles from the store that have a smaller opening with the lid off. The bigger opening of the typical bidon just lets drink splash all over me while pedaling.

So what do others do? Squirt, suck or take the top off?

And does all the road grime slung up by the front tire not bother you? At least drinking with the lid removed exposes a clean area for my lips. <grin>
