Would you drink from the same glass/bottle as someone else?

I will drink out of the same bottle as my kids or a family member or close friend, but not out of the same bottle as someone I do not know well.

If it was a family member or even a very close friend, yes, I would. A bottle of drink going around the work place. No, I don't think so. Even though you work with these people, you have no clue what they do "behind closed doors". I just couldn't do it.

I will never drink from a bottle that someone else has been drinking from, irrespective of who it is or how well I know them. We all have germs and bacteria, and this seems the sureat way of transmitting them. A dormant and apparently harmless entity can have far different effects on another person. I may be a little overcautious in this respect, but it is the way that I have always lived. The main problem is that it is too easy to offend someone by this, which is never my intention.

Definitely not. You can pretty much count on one of those people having a cold, or worse, so, there's no way I'd drink from the same bottle. You may as well go up, and give them an open mouth kiss. Bleck!

A year or so ago we had an outbreak of meningitis in our area. The health department was going to all of our local schools to talk to the faculty and students about ways to decrease their chances of contacting meningitis. The first thing that they said was, "don't drink after someone else." No, I won't drink after anyone else, especially non-family members. I will sometimes take a sip of my husband's drink, but he is the only one after whom I will drink. I do hope that I have instilled in my children that they are not to drink after anyone!

mmh usually not either glass or bottle as well!!so if someone offered me beh it is possible i drink or better depends who will offer me from the same bottle ehehe..if they seem sane may be yes heheeh!!:)

Generally i don't . the bottle can be taken if all others do not touch the bottle by mouth. I will rather not take anything from the same glass or bottle which is used by others before.

Unless absolutely necessary, no. I think it is part of personal hygiene and all. I remember my time in the army when I was a recruit - and drinking from our own bottle is impossible. What happened was that they "tortured" us and part of it was rushing around within a short time limit. All our bottles were identical (of course) and we can't have fanciful markings naturally. So when we rush for the bottle, we can't pick and choose. We are only able to just grab whatever bottle we see and most times, it is the wrong bottle and we will be drinking from another's bottle with his saliva and what not. Even if we manage to get back our bottle later, the fact remains that we have shared a drink with another and the same thing is gonna repeat everyday so many times.

I would only drink from people I know well, my good friends or family.

I don't think sooooooo. I won't drink out of anyones glass, bottle etc. Why, because of communicable diseases, bacteria that could send your body into a spin. Having an autoimmune disease as I have..I wouldn't take a chance. If you're ever put in a position of feeling intimidated, simply say that you have lesions in your mouth and don't want to spread unwanted germs to others. It's not a lie, you're not making a falsehood to hurt anyone, you are being considerate and well meaning. I simply say... No, thank you!

I would only drink from the same bottle as my family. However I still don't like to do that, I think it unhygenic. Better to pour drink into glasses. Sharing drinks with other people, noway, not unless I was strandard and needed water to survive.

No I never would as I would have no way of knowing what sort of germs might lurk on the rim of that bottle or glass. that is a good way to pick up something you would rather not have like the flu or even meningitis. maybe even staph. anyway I would not even drink from something one of my family was drinking from because again I do not know what might be lurking invisibly on the rim of the bottle or glass. family or not. for example I stupidly about a month ago drank from a glass of green tea my son had been drinking three days later I began to vomit then had the diarrhea so bad that my blood glucose level went down to fifty. and a few hours late my son began vomiting and had diarrhea too. the doctor said we had norfolk virus which was highly contagious. so not ever again will I drink from someone else's glass no matter if its friend. or family. to get that sick when you are a diabetic could easily land you in the hospital.

I would share a drink with a family member as long as they weren't sick. Right now colds are going around and I don't want to help them spread.

I will drink from the same bottle with my family members only so far. Somehow, it is disgusting for me to drink from the same bottle with others other than my family member. But things will change. Maybe when I had a new boyfriend or even my children, i will not mind drinking from the same bottle with them.

To me, that sounds gross. But, I would probably share a bottle or glass with a lover, but no one else. Or, at the very least, wipe the bottle off. I would never share a bottle with someone I don't know at all. If someone was in the desert and thirsty, I would take a drink from the bottle myself and give the rest of it to the other person rather than take it back.

it is really not safe to drink to somebody else glass especially if it is a stranger to you, before you know it you might get a disease from that glass. in my case i don't drink to other glass as well, call it hypocrisy but i am not use to borrowing other persons personal things specially glass or bottle to drink, i prefer to bring or buy my own in case i need to.

I don't drink from the same bottle or glass as someone else. It doesn't matter whether I know the person or not. We don't know what kind of germs a person has. Just because you know someone doesn't mean that they can't be carrying germs that could make you sick. I don't drink from the same glass or bottle that any of the family has drank from and I know them very well so I definitely wouldn't drink from something that someone that I just know drank from.

I dont like to do it, but i have no problems doing it if its a friend or family member im sharing the glass/bottle with. Otherwise id not want to do it at all.

Yeah i wouldn't drink jsut anybody drink i depends on how thirsty i was and how close the friends were. If it was easily avoidable i would use my own glass or bottle.
