Some embodiments relate to a cap for controlling fluid flow from a bottle that includes an opening for dispensing the fluid. The cap includes a first section and a second section. The first section defines an orifice and a plurality of air channels. The opening of the bottle is in flow communication with the orifice and the plurality of air channels. The second section includes a first plurality of rings for securing the opening of the bottle, such that at least one of the air channels and the orifice creates an air-lock to secure the fluid within the bottle.

1. A cap for controlling fluid flow from a bottle that includes a first opening having a first diameter for dispensing the fluid, the cap being configured for use with a tube, the cap comprising: a first plurality of rings, at least one of the first plurality of rings being formed on an inner surface second section of the cap having a first diameter to be secured over the first opening of the bottle;drainage rings formed on an inner surface first section of the cap that surround one or more air channels,an orifice being defined to be in flow communication with the one or more air channels that are surrounded by the draining rings,wherein the orifice is configured to receive the tube, such that the tube can be secured by the one or more draining rings for sealing the one or more air channels, and such that the tube is oriented perpendicular to the at least one of the first plurality of rings,wherein at least one portion of the cap is folded inside-out about an outward bend upon manipulation, wherein the outward bend is adapted to secure a second opening of the bottle when the cap is inverted, wherein the second opening has a diameter greater than the first diameter and relatively less than a maximum diameter of the cap. 2. The cap of claim 1, wherein the cap is reversed upon manipulation such that at least one of the first plurality of rings and the one or more drainage rings is exposed to the external environment. 3. The cap of claim 1, further comprising contours configured to facilitate placement and removal of the cap over the bottle. 4. The cap of claim 1, further comprising at least one protruding member adapted to assist removal of the cap from the bottle. 5. The cap of claim 1, wherein the cap is flexible. 6. The cap of claim 1, wherein the bottle is manipulated to control the fluid flow through the orifice, wherein the bottle is configured such that squeezing the bottle increases the fluid flow through the orifice. 7. The cap of claim 1, wherein a plurality of the drainage rings secured within the first opening when the cap is inverted. 8. The cap of claim 1, wherein a predetermined spacing is maintained between each pair of rings of the first plurality of rings. 9. The cap of claim 1, wherein the one or more drainage rings can be configured to communicate with the tube to create an air-lock to impede the unintended fluid flow from the cap. 10. The cap of claim 1, wherein an air lock that applies a pressure greater than a fluid pressure within the bottle for securing the fluid within the bottle when the tube has a predetermined diameter and a predetermined height, at least one of which creates an air-lock within the tube. 11. The cap of claim 7, wherein a predetermined spacing is maintained between each drainage ring. 12. A cap for controlling fluid flow from a bottle that includes a first opening having a first diameter for dispensing the fluid, the cap comprising: a first section defining an orifice, configured to receive a tube, and at least one air channel, the first opening of the bottle being in flow communication with the orifice and the at least one air channel; anda second section including a first plurality of rings formed on an inner surface of the second section for securing the cap to the first opening of the bottle,wherein, when the tube is received in the orifice, the tube can seal at least one of the air channels to create an air-lock to secure the fluid within the bottle,wherein the second section includes a bottom edge having a curved contour and an inner surface having a predetermined slope to facilitate placement and removal of the cap over the bottle. 13. The cap of claim 12, wherein at least one portion of the second section can be folded inside out about an outward bend upon manipulation, wherein the outward bend is adapted to secure a second opening of the bottle when the cap is inverted, wherein the second opening has a diameter greater than a first diameter of the inner surface and less than a maximum diameter of the cap. 14. The cap of claim 13, wherein the first section and the second section are reversed upon manipulation such that the first plurality of rings externally secure the cap into at least one of the first opening and the second opening when the cap is inverted. 15. The cap of claim 13, wherein the second section includes at least one protruding member adapted to assist removal of the cap from the bottle provided the cap is inverted and inserted into at least one of the first opening and the second opening. 16. The cap of claim 12, wherein the cap is flexible. 17. The cap of claim 12, wherein the bottle is manipulated to control the fluid flow through the orifice, and the bottle is configured such that squeezing the bottle increases the fluid flow through the orifice. 18. The cap of claim 12, wherein the first section further includes one or more drainage rings disposed around the each of the one or more one or more air channels. 19. The cap of claim 18, wherein the tube has a predetermined diameter and a predetermined height, at least one of which creates an air-lock within the tube, such that the airlock applies a pressure greater than a fluid pressure within the bottle for securing the fluid within the bottle. 20. The cap of claim 12, wherein a predetermined spacing is maintained between each pair of rings of the first plurality of rings. 21. A system for controlling fluid flow from a bottle that includes a first opening having a first diameter for dispensing the fluid, the system comprising: a cap including: a first plurality of rings, at least one of the first plurality of rings being secured over the first opening of the bottle; andone or more drainage rings formed on an inner surface first section of the cap;an orifice being defined to be in flow communication with one or more air channels that are surrounded by the one or more drainage rings; anda tube configured to be received by the orifice, and to be secured by the one or more drainage rings for sealing the one or more air channels, such that the tube can be oriented perpendicular to the at least one of the first plurality of rings,wherein the cap further includes an edge having a curved contour and an inner surface having a predetermined slope to facilitate placement and removal of the cap over the bottle. 22. The system of claim 21, wherein at least one portion of the cap can be folded inside out about an outward bend upon manipulation, wherein the outward bend is adapted to secure a second opening of the bottle when the cap is inverted, wherein the second opening has a diameter greater than a first diameter of the inner surface and less than a maximum diameter of the cap. 23. The system of claim 22, wherein, when the cap is inverted upon manipulation, the first plurality of rings are exposed as an external surface and upon insertion of the cap into the second opening, the first plurality of rings externally secures the cap into the second opening. 24. The system of claim 21, wherein the cap includes at least one protruding member adapted to assist removal of the cap from the bottle when the cap is inverted and inserted into the second opening. 25. The system of claim 21, wherein the cap is flexible. 26. The system of claim 21, wherein the bottle is configured such that squeezing the bottle increases the fluid flow through tube. 27. The system of claim 21, wherein the bottle is configured such that squeezing the bottle increases the fluid flow through the orifice when tube is removed. 28. The system of claim 21, wherein the tube is titled at an angle other than 90 degrees with respect to the at least one of the first plurality of rings to unseal at least one of the one or more air channels. 29. The system of claim 21, wherein a predetermined spacing is maintained between each pair of rings of the first plurality of rings. 30. The system of claim 21, wherein an air lock that applies a pressure greater than a fluid pressure within the bottle for securing the fluid within the bottle when the tube has a predetermined diameter and a predetermined height, at least one of which creates an air-lock within the tube.
