And seriously - I suck like the gent in that photo. (I was decades into drinking that mode before i ever saw footage of the pros drinking from the corner of their mouths.) I simultaneously squeeze; not hard enough to get leakage and wet but enough that I can drink 2/3s of a bottle on one swig. Use the ubiquitous Specialized bottles and (preferred) the bottles with brownish plastic and a wider nozzle. Those preferred ones don't drink faster but they are much higher quality bottles and leak far less.
