As for me, most of the time i don't mind sharing my glass with my loved ones and to some very close friends that is if they want to c",) There are times that don't like sharing because i'm sick and i don't want to spread the virus..lol! I understand that there are some people who don't really like sharing their glasses but anyway it's just me c",)
How about you guys? Do you like sharing your glass to anyone or just your partner? Do share your views on this.

Sometimes, when glasses are distributed, I guess I could really never share mine n'or have the glasses of those who I am drinking with.
At certain occasions, when I drink with friends and we have no choice but to share a glass, we share. We won't participate if we know that we are indeed sick in the first place ^_^

Hi there, every member of our family has his own mug, meal plate, spoon and fork. We don’t share the tableware. I share them with my hubby only occasionally. Sometimes he brews a mug of hot aromatic coffee and I couldn’t refrain from having a sip of it. Sometimes my son wants to share his drink with me. I always ask him to drink first and I will finish the remainder even though I am not sick but only for hygiene purpose.

I understand some people have personal cups/glasses even within family members. I do not practice such with family members. We do share glass and even drink from the same glass. Of course, we are automatic in not sharing glasses or cups if one has flu or is sick.
When I am outside, even if I do not want to share glasses, there is little chance of me doing so. I just have to drink from whatever glass they provide. I do not bring my own glass around :P

Well.for me I don't like to share my bottles with my partner or someone who has close relationships with me ...This habit can date back to my childhood ..I remembered at that time my parents taught me that don't share your bottles with others pupils as it is not follow the rule of sanitation..
This is just my opinion on this ..

Hi,
I had shared while I had a cup of coconut water I shared it with my parents and my sister. As we had got IT only in one glass and all us were thirsty. We shared it in one glass. Later during my school days they used to keep a glass on the cooler we had all in that school shared that glass. But I used to wash it before I use it and also usually I bring water from home. We also had in college and hostels mostly single glass. At home I we use glass after washing it or sometimes we use our own glasses.

No, I do not like to share my drinking glass or bottle with anyone not even my husband because of germs never know what germs your passing back anbd forth, even family members. If they wan't a little sip of what I have then they better bring a glass for some. Helps keep those sick germs at bay also in the winter months. I don't think people should share glasses. And I don't understand parents putting their kids binky in their mouths before giving it to their kids. Germs are the worse thing to give a infant whos immune system isn't up to par with all these germs we have now days. So I think they should think before they put it in their mouths.

I generally don't. I sometimes share a drink with my husband if there is only 1 drink and I'm really really thirsty but more often than not I'd rather get m own glass.

Just because they're your close friends doesn't make them clean or healthy. I would never share my glass with anyone other than my husband. Besides, I have lupus which means I have basically little or no immune system so getting sick is very easily for me to do but would rather not so I have to be very careful with everything I do.

I only share glasses with my wife and son. For other people that are not part of my family, I don't. Its really important to be safe this days considering that sharing this things may cause or spread viruses. Its not being rude or something. Just part of making our body safe and healthy. Its really expensive to be sick this days.

I have no problem sharing with my wife and kids, and that is on condition that none of us has some flu or contagious illness, of course.

Only with my girls, little sis. We normally share glasses even in the restaurant. There are times each one of us will order different drinks and my girls will like to try the taste.
I don't share with the rest of the family though because they are smokers. =)

Hello mycharm. Most of the time, each member in my family uses his own glass and chopsticks, but not bowls, excluding my teen son, who loves his special bowl. In fact, I do not mind sharing the same glass with my spouse and sometime she drinks from my glass and I still drink the rest. But I don't like to share with people outside my wife and son. In fact, my son only uses his own. Thanks.

With whom? It depends... with sister, my mom, or day, they can drink with my glass. But not for boyfriend and friends... i think its weird to share glass to bf and friends.

It depends on who I'm sharing it with. I kiss my wife often enough, that there is very little we won't share of of a glass or or off a plate. My nine year old is a very different story. There are horribly sick and disgusting kids in his class and he no doubt has their cooties... The last thing I need in the world while trying to write novels and blog full time is to be laid up with grade school germs.
