Hi friends, yesterday i went to my colleague's house because he invited me for dinner. When i went to his house starting he given glass of water to drink then after that he brought a whisky and he poured into that glass which i drank water from it. I don't know on that moment what to do. Then i asked one more glass and i used that glass to drink whisky. Friends what you will do if you face the same situation? Do you use the same glass for both drinking water and whisky too......?

Hi Lou..this is a question I have never heard before. I would be curious what you think might not be 'right' about this. Indeed it is unusual, but not in my way of thinking anything 'wrong.' I would for sure drink from the same glass so not to be rude to my host. Maybe they don 't have many glasses or they weren't clean or they just wanted to save water washing glasses later :)

Hey friend, i was not rude on that moment. Just wanted to have one more glass to drink Whisky thats why i asked him very politely and he understood the situation. There is no use of getting rude or behaving rude on that moment. It depends on the interest of the person if person wants to drink in that same glass then he will continue or else he will ask one more glass thats it.

I would use the same glass for water and whisky. It's only being used by me so I would just rinse it out really good with hot water. The whisky flavor will be out and you can go back to the water. If you're done with water and just having whisky, water leaves no flavor, so no biggy.

Yes friend that last sentence made me to understand in a simple manner. I too thought the same thing after reading your response. But if i required water on that moment again i need to ask one more glass right, so rather than asking in the middle of the party or dinner, i asked it in the beginning itself.

I don't see any problem with that. It seems wasteful to use a different glass, unless you planned on drinking more water. Maybe he wanted to cut back on dishes because he doesn't have many, has to do them by hand, or is an environmentalist, etc.

yes friend, if we required water then again we need to take glasses. Rather than getting disturb while drinking whisky its better to take the one more glass and we can drink whisky from that glass so that the glass which contains water will be there so whenever we want we can use it.

i too don't see any problem in this
as he offered you water on the same glass in which you drank whiskey 
if the case was like ,he has offer you water in which he or some other friend drank whiskey then i would probably think its not good 
but don't you think if he would have offered water in another glass then he would have to wash double the amount of glass

If someone drank water or whisky and keeping it infront of me to use the same glass to drink water or whisky means i never do that stuff. Probably i may leave drinking water or whisky on that moment but i won't drink water or whisky on that glass which is all ready used by someone.

I don't drink whisky at home unless there's a special occasion such as my birthday,but if it happens,I have no problem using the same glass for water and whisky,but usually right after I drink whisky I need a glass of water if the drink is too strong to cool down my throat,so it's better two have two separate glasses.
