The combination of claim 3, further comprising a sealing gasket disposed between said first portion of the resealable closure and the dispensing port. 6. A resealable closure in combination with a beverage container having a bottom and a sidewall, comprising: the resealable closure including a lid, the lid including a dispensing port through which fluid may discharge from the container, at least a first portion of said closure member being oriented on an underside of said lid and being moveable by an external drive means between a sealed position, in which said first portion of the resealable closure is initially biased toward a perimeter of the dispensing port by physical interference between the first portion of the resealable closure and one of said lid and said sidewall to thereby initiate a seal of the dispensing port, and an unsealed position away from the dispensing port; wherein when said first portion of the closure member is in the sealed position, forces from a differential between pressure within the beverage container and surrounding atmospheric pressure bias said first portion of the closure member toward the perimeter of the dispensing port to enhance said seal; and wherein said physical interference biasing said first portion of the resealable closure toward the perimeter of the dispensing port dissipates as said first portion of the resealable closure moves from the sealed position to the unsealed position. 7. The combination of claim 6, wherein at least one of said first portion of the resealable closure and said lid includes a pressure equalization port to facilitate movement of the first portion of the resealable closure from the sealed position to the unsealed position. 8. The combination of claim 7, further including a second portion of the closure member extending outside the beverage container, said second portion of the closure member being moveable between a first position corresponding to said first portion of the closure member being in the sealed position and the pressure equalization port being in a sealed condition, and an intermediate position wherein said first portion of the closure member is still in the sealed position and said pressure equalization port is in an unsealed condition, whereby internal pressure of the beverage container is vented to an outside of the beverage container prior to movement of the first portion of the resealable closure. 9. The combination of claim 7, wherein said pressure equalization port is initially in a sealed condition, and further including means for unsealing said vent hole prior to movement of said first portion of the resealable closure from the sealed position to the unsealed position. 10. The combination of claim 9, wherein said means for unsealing said pressure equalization port prior to movement of the first portion of the resealable closure from the sealed position to the unsealed position includes providing slack between the external drive means and the first portion of the resealable closure. 11. A method for opening and resealing a pressurized beverage container having a resealable closure thereon, comprising the steps of: first, unsealing a pressure equalizing port provided in the resealable closure; next, opening a dispensing port provided in a lid of the resealable closure; followed by the steps of re-sealing said pressure equalization port; closing said dispensing port; wherein in said step of unsealing the pressure equalization port, said pressure equalization port is unsealed by moving an external drive means provided on said lid from a first closed and unvented position in which the dispensing port is closed by a sealing flap provided on an underside of the lid, and a portion of said external drive means is in a sealed relationship with the pressure equalization port, to a second cl
