A combination beverage can carrier device and drinking accessory is disclosed. The device comprises a plurality of releasably detachable hollow cylindrical extension members which are connected to each other in parallel rows to form a carrier to be used in connection with beverage cans. When used as a carrier, the extensions are mounted flush to the top rim of the cans. Each extension is readily detachable from each other, and when detached, the extension can form a drinking accessory, such as a cup. When detached, the extension is telescopically slid upwardly along the outer surface of a can so that the top of the extension projects beyond the top rim of the can. This arrangement allows the user to directly drink from the can without touching his or her lips to the metallic surface and thereby increase safety and hygiene. Further, the extension and top surface of the can creates an area whereby external additives, such as ice cubes may be added. Once the consumer has finished the beverage, the can and member may be simultaneously discarded or recycled.
