Anonymous · Accepted Answer

4. I don't want sticky hands or a drink that's had my hands in it (though I keep them clean, it's just something that bothers me).

3 makes me nervous as well, though. It looks like it would be the easiest way to drop the glass.

... these photos make me so uncomfortable #4 though, that just doesn't seem sanitary

clampfan101 · Accepted Answer

All of the above. lol Well, I guess 4 because he’s got his freakin fingers in it...

Nayrr · Accepted Answer

#4 adds extra flavour

rylielovessoftball · Answer

They are all bad. There really isn't much of a "worst" option. If I had to pick the worst one, it would be A. At least with all the other ones, there isn't as much of a risk of breaking the glass. Unless your like D... then... eeewwww because I'm def not drinking out of that. But A is the worse option because of the balancing issues it's causing. Your holding onto the least surface area of the glass meaning one little mistake on your part and the glass is falling to the floor causing you lots of cleaning up afterward.

Investigator · Answer

The worst way to hold a glass is the one where the hand covers the least amount of area on the surface and requires the most amount of exertion possible to hold it.

A has the least amount of stability, B has the most probability to turn the cup upside down (since it looks like it's being held with the left hand turned outward and ulnar pinching will cause carpal tunnel), C covers the area of the glass occupying a space of least volume and the highest likelihood of dropping the glass through gravity alone, and D has the highest probability of contamination due to skin contact. Therefore, every option provided is the worst method in that "family" of techniques.

However, if we're going with the "least worst" technique, C would be the best (assuming decent grip strength) as you're making direct sheer contact with at least 30% of the glass' surface, followed by A (assuming good balance).

meta-djinn · Answer

it can't be #4 since #4 is the perfect way to hold a glass:
-firm grip, can't slip
-instant temperature check
-asserts dominance, noone is gonna drink your drink after that
-I look cute when I take a sip like this

Try it on your next date! (please don't)

dimetridrossos · Answer

I chose c because of the chance of you dropping and breaking the glass, it wouldn't hurt if some bacteria from your hands got into your body (although its definitely gross), it won't kill you and you could go along with you day just fine... although you hand would covered in orange juice... thats pretty bad... but its better to just rinse your hands off then risk cleaning up a broken glass covered in orange juice.

HungLikeAHorsefly · Answer

I go for the two hands approach because I'm uncoordinated and not confident. Just like this simp

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

They're all inappropriate but this   way is simply disgusting.

Chadnelson1973 · Answer

Depends on what you are drinking. As some drinks such as wine or certain liquors are sensitive to heat ! And for optimum taste the heat from your hand will affect the flavor. So you want to eliminate as much heat as possible for best taste.

Wich is why certain beverages have different glass

FakeName123 · Answer

All these plebs choosing #4. While you touch the drink, at least #4 is a firm grip. #3 is the true risk-taker here that begs to drop and burst on the floor.

Quidthonian · Answer

Option 4: I need to try that on one of my waitering jobs.
