Would you drink from someone else's glass?

I can't see myself drinking anything from someone else's glass. I'll wash it diligently and make sure it's clean. I even wash my own glasses. If I drink coffee I'll wash away the stains and be sure it's hygienic. Some people feel comfortable drinking from each other's glasses though. The same applies to the use of forks, spoons and similar kitchen tools. What do you think about it? Will you eat from someone else's plate? Would you drink from someone else's glass?

I do drink from my hubby's glass or eat from his plate and for goodness sakes kissing hmmmm but I wouldn't when it comes to anyone else, that's rather grotesque!

I'm like you and can't do this either. If I see people on films sharing food it makes me feel ill, like in loads of american films they always seem to be eating out of the same ice cream tub and although I love ice cream there is no way I could do that.

I can't drink from others glass, unless it is my husband! We were out to dinner a few weeks ago with some friends that my husband works with and I was trying to figure out what to drink and one of the guys picked up his drink and handed it to me to try!! I couldn't do it, I just kept asking what was in it and he wanted me to try it but I didn't. I was shocked that he would offer!! We don't know the couple that well, but the guys work together...I definitely wouldn't offer my drink to someone else.

I try not to if I can avoid it. I am quite particular about hygiene to be honest. But sometimes it is not polite to reject. But hey, I have gone through army where we share drinking cups everyday of our lives. It's disgusting but I lived through that. :P

it would depend on who used the glass already. if it's one of my friends, who i know is not sick or something, or one omy immediate family members, i would not mind drinking from it at all!

The only people I'll share anything with is my daughter and fiance. Other then that I kind of get grossed out drinking after any of my friends. It took me a while to get comfortable drinking after my fiance and he used to make fun of me all the time for it.
