my neice is a quadriplegic...we are currently trying to come up with ideas where she can more independently drink...will this sort of system work on a liter drink bottle or cup? thanks

This tube is designed to connect to a Platypus water bladder. Once connected, it acts much like a straw, in that you will bite the nozzle to allow water to flow, and then suck like a straw.
However, the tube is flexible, and would probably move away from one's mouth once you stop biting on it.
All that to say, this tube will not work except with a Platypus bladder, and may move around too much to help in your situation.
