I searched for the difference between cap and lid: this post and also this post.
But I'm still confused.
My theory is this:
the cap is a cover for a bottle
the lid is a cover for a container which is not bottle
the lid doesn't have a screw in it. If it has a screw, it is called a cap.
But then, a jar's cover doesn't fit into this classification. A jar has a screw in the cover but the cover is called a lid.
How do I distinguish a lid from a cap?
The amount of money a company produces by selling items is called its
turnover
which also can be referred to as
sales (AmE)
whereas
income
is the amount of money a company makes after certain reductions, e.g. cost of goods sold.
So, income includes turnover in its calculation.
Here is an example Income Statement which shows Turnover as a top-line item
I don't think there's a single word that describes drinking particularly from the bottle, as opposed to any other container. If it's something you usually drink from a glass (like milk, or a large bottle of juice), and you want to emphasize you didn't, you can say you drank it straight from the bottle.
Other than that, there's a lot of words meaning "to drink" that may or may not be useful to you.
If you drank the entire bottle quickly, you can say you downed the bottle.
If you drank slowly and continuously, you sipped on the bottle. (or even nursed the bottle if you want to emphasize the slowness).
Pouring the bottle into your mouth also implies you drank it relatively fast, and dribbling it into your mouth - the opposite (though I'd say the latter is rather uncommon usage). Keep in mind that you need to say where you poured our dribbled the bottle in order to be understood correctly.

No. Jars often have screw tops. That feature isn't relevant.
Soda cans usually have pop-tops, which is arguably a type of lid. It is not a cap.
Standard cans like pinto beans or mandarin oranges have a lid. The lid requires a can opener, or sometimes has a ring to pull it off. Manufacturers in the USA should strongly consider adding those rings more frequently because they are quite convenient.
