1. A drinking vessel, comprising:
a lid configured to engage an opening of a container for containing a liquid, the lid configured to retain the liquid within the container;
a drinking opening in the lid sized to allow a user to drink from the drinking opening;
a drinking straw opening in the lid comprising a removable drinking straw accessible for direct contact with a user's lips while drinking from the drinking straw, where the drinking straw opening is spaced laterally apart and separate from the drinking opening in the lid, such that the drinking opening and the drinking straw opening provide independent drinking openings in the lid;
a first cover attached to the lid to move between a first position and a second position relative to the drinking opening, whereby the first cover is configured to preclude liquid from being dispensed from the drinking opening in the first position and to allow liquid to be dispensed from the drinking opening in the second position; and
a second cover attached to the lid to move between a first position and a second position relative to the drinking straw opening, whereby the second cover is configured to preclude liquid from being dispensed from the drinking straw opening in the first position and to allow liquid to be dispensed from the drinking straw opening in the second position,
whereby the first cover and the second cover are attached to the lid such that movement of the first cover between its first and second position is independent of movement of the second cover between its first and second position, and movement of the second cover between its first and second position is independent of movement of the first cover between its first and second position,
wherein the first cover includes a first hinge for moving the first cover between its first position and its second position on a first axis, and the second cover includes a second hinge for moving the second cover between its first position and its second position on a second axis,
wherein the first and second axis are offset from a center of the lid toward a side of the lid opposite the drinking opening.
