Cheers!!

Since I live alone and hate to wash dishes I try to keep a supply of styrofoam cups on my coffee table at all times. If I didn't I would be washing cups out all day long and that's not my thing. I have lots of ceramic cups but choose not to use them.

Well I will make a mental note to BYOM...bring my own mug if we ever do visit. You asked what I prefer and I must admit I do not like to drink anything from plastic Styrofoam or paper cups...period. I always have a travel mug and even have it filled up when I am getting beverages to go. At home I have clear glass mugs that I drink tea and coffee from...and this is my favorite holder for hot beverages. For juices and cold drinks same thing...crystal clear glass. To me the shape, size and feel of the beverage container enhances the enjoyment of the drink. My grandmother and mother were English and always said that the way we serve ANYTHING is a reflection of how much we value our guests. My Mom raised me with the idea that 'love shows up in the details.' She taught me how to set a table with an eye towards color, presentation and to always put the very best out for loved ones and guests. I guess that idea has carried over into other areas of my life. Consequently something as simple as having a cup of green tea in a sparkling clear mug is a carryover from my British roots. I truly believe everything beverage tastes better when the container it is in has a quality feel to it. So there you go...I bet you didn't expect a big philosophical discussion about something like beverage containers. Oh well Bay...it is who I am and what I do. Everything within my lens is always bigger than what meets the eye.LOL Good to have a chance to pop by you site again...I do appreciate you on-going interest at mine. Fun topic... Raia

This is discussion for me. lol I would never drink from plastic glass if I don't need to. I mean ok if I am somewhere camping and there is not other option, what i can do? But at home? NO, NO, NO. But my hubby know, it is the same with amlost all europen people, since plastic is kinda nasty for us, I know many people who will not drink from plastic. But for example paper cups are ok, i will still not use them at home, bu in burger king they are ok. Cans are fine, but I am worried where they store them and it can be some dust on the top, where I would drink from( yeah I know crazy), but I was working like a summer job in company who made drinks and I have seen everything possible or impossible there. And also the last one i cannot drink from bottle,specially glass bottle, beucase I don't know how. LOl But from plastic one , it is ok.The people usually don't ask me what kinda glass I want , but I would tell them, beucase the plastic is rally kinda gross....

I rarely drink from anything but glass. Plastic and styrofoam are too hard on the environment when you have to throw them away, but glass can be used over and over again!

hello bayleighgray... This is a nice topic you have started... Never thought of this detail but when i come to think of it... yes... i'd prefer glass to paper cups cause the basic fact its hard to hold... i tend to spill my drink if i apply any pressure unexpextedly. glass is fragile itself but i seem to have a really heightened sense of precaution which keeps me aware that im holdin a glass. not like paper... i almost everytime spill my drink.....

i prefer to drink out of a glass (any drink i choose) that someone else has bought me, but in my own home, itd have to be a mug i got when i was 10, i keep it safe and it only has one chip so far (hmmmm, howd that get there?) lol, and its have to be clean, i dont want to get any diseases. lol

I'll drink out of anything (no pun intended) EXCEPT a bottle. Did you know that drinking from bottles is a health hazard? I read a report once that bottles especially those that are sold in pubs are left outside for rats to pee all over them! Ewwww, but it's true. You don't know where those bottles have been, and you are putting that bottle to your mouth, all those germs, even if there are no rats around. I much prefer a glass and plenty of rocks with it, I have even been known to have a straw too, I don't care I ain't fussy!

Well I will drink out of what gets offered but I do prefer Cups when it comes to hot Drinks and a Glass when it is Juice lol

I usually drink out of tupperware at home, and will use that for my guests too - unless they ask. My sister will usually drink out of tupperware also - except milk, she can't drink milk out of anything but glass. I don't really have a preference, I just don't like to worry about breaking the glass so I don't use it.

I hate plastic. I am strange also when it comes to coffee cups. I have my very own mug at home. Noone else uses it either as it is mine. HAHAHA! It's a large mug holding about one and a half the normal sized cups hold. I drink otherwise from glasses as I hate plastic cups. Now when I go out I will use a styrofaom cup for a coffee to go. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Very interesting question Bay Bay. I like to drink out of plastic cups at my house. We have glass ones but they are kind of heavy and the cup gets cold like the drink and I dont like that. At other peoples house I usually wont eat or drink anything. If I know they have bottled water I will just request one of those. I feel weird drinking out of cups at peoples houses, especially plastic because they are usually well used and well not gross but I feel weird about it.

I raised 3 kids so i always have had plastic, buti do have a friend who visits about once a year and she does tell me she prefers glass...lmbo.....whih i think is kinda rude, but that is how she is...so i give her glass...lol

I am a Diet-Coke-aholic, so I usually drink from a can (which I prefer). I don't like my Diet Coke from those plastic bottles; I wish they still had the glass bottles in the 8-pack. Remember those? I would LOVE to drink an ice cold Diet Coke from one of those! Otherwise, I don't have a preference, but I WILL NOT drink milk from a plastic cup. Has to be glass. The milk stays colder. However, I wouldn't refuse any cup offered at someone else's house. That is just plain rude. If she's that particular about it, she should carry her own glass, like I take Diet Coke with me when I go to someone's house.

i always drink in the glass when im in the house or my friends house i only drink in the styro or plastic when im outside like in the cafeteria and park place:-)
