I will admit there are occasions when I have been know to take swallows of milk or orange juice from the container instead of a glass. It used to drive my mom nuts and I have mostly gotten out of it but there are still rare occasions when I do .Have you ever done it or still do it?

Yes, I am guilty of drinking milk or orange juice out of the carton instead of using a glass or a paper cup, in the past. I don't do it now that I have kids, because I always worried that I might get them sick if I was coming down with something and didn't know it. My husband says I should have thought about that with him to when I used to do it. I felt bad about that, until I caught him sipping juice from the carton one morning. Now, we laugh about it but neither one of us do it any more.

My dad was like that when I used to drink out of the container.He would get mad at me then I would end up catching him drinking out of it. He doesn't mind now because I only drink out of the container when it's just about empty and he has gotten pretty good about not drinling out of it.

I do this all the time too, but that's simply because the containers are mine. I drink different percentages of milk (2% or chocolate vs. slim) and lots of pulp vs. no pulp for o.j., and regular pop vs. diet pop. I really don't have to worry about my germs effecting someone else because nobody in my household drinks my stuff, nor does company every come over and ask for a glass of milk, o.j., or soda. I do it because it's more convenient, for I don't want to do any more dishes than I absolutely have to (that's the worst chore in a household).

Nobody tell my husband or son, but I have been known to take a swallow or two out of the OJ carton in the wee hours of the morning when I wake up for no reason. It's one of those things that I know makes no sense what so ever since I am always on my hubby and son about doing it, but at 3am when everyone else is fast alseep, I just cannot help myself. It is like my guilty pleasure. I buy the 50% less sugar OJ for myself, so there is never any danger of me passing on my germs to anyone else who wants OJ as I keep a big jug of the "real" stuff in the fridge too for my hubby and kiddo. :)
