The container (1) e.g. bottle has space for a weight and/or a ballast material. The circular base surface (3) of the container is dimensioned so that with an inclination of the longitudinal axis of the full container up to at least 15 deg , the vertical projection of the center of gravity (2) remains within the base surface. The container has a closure plate (4) at the top, connected to it via a hinge (8) so that it projects over the container edge. The cover is provided with a grip hole and has a seal. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, aufrecht stehende Flüssigkeitsbehälter, insbesondere für Urin, nicht nur extrem standfest, sondern auch benutzerfreundlich zu gestalten. DOLLAR A Erreicht wird dies durch entsprechende Formgebung der Grundfläche, aber auch durch eine besondere Konstruktion der Verschlußplatte und durch spezielle Anordnung von Handgriffen.
