Depends on where I'm at. In the house, glass, on the patio/outdoors, plastic.

Glass. We don't even have plastic glasses in the house anymore since the children got old enough to safely use glass.

It would have to be glass. Except for some aluminum tumblers, there aren't any other glasses in the house except for those made of glass.

I prefer glass but I use a plastic insulated mug with a lid and handle a lot if I'm outside. Inside it's always glass though.

Glass - I don't like drinking out of plastic. Eating fine - drinking? Nuh uh...

Besides, beer bottles are always glass...

We have a couple plastic cups (one is a mug, actually). I don't use them very often, but sometimes I do. Generally, I only drink milk out of them. I think I have an imprint from childhood of milk in a plastic cup.

Glass. There's only one plastic cup in our cabinets, and it's my SO's. It's one of his favorite cups, and I never use it. I'm not generally a fan of plastic cups.

Glass of course! I don't have any plastic cups. I hate plastic crap. The only plastic stuff I have in my kitchen is a few of those little food storage tubs and such like that.

Generally I prefer glass. However, in certain situations (such as on cement patio with shoes not being worn) I prefer plastic in case of breakage.

Plastic. For various reasons - plastic cups are lighter, the ones in our house hold more liquid than the glass ones and the glass ones are more likely to break when dropped.

But, most of the time the choice would be "neither". The only three things I drink at home are soda, water and milk. Soda's I leave in the can. Water I drink right out of the filtered water spigot or faucet and milk I drink right out of the gallon jug. Hey, that's no problem 'cause I'm the only one who drinks the milk. So I figure I'm saving another glass/cup from having to be washed.

Well they say it's good because it blocks light but it doesn't keep it as cold.

And you probably drink the beer so quickly it doesn't even get a chance to be exposed to sun.

Plastic. I usually drink out of my favorite plastic cup. It's a blue Mardi Gras '02 cup that I caught at a parade. The writing on it is fading and no one can tell exactly what it said. I don't know why I like it, but I do. Strange. If it's dirty, then I'll go for another plastic cup. We only use glass at the dinner table.

I couldn't have said this any better. The answer to your question is yes. You are a raving lunatic who needs critical mental help, hope that gives you something to think about (Can you think?)

 * rolls eyes * Don't kid yourself... that's just an excuse folks tell themselves so they don't have to carry any guilt or responsibility for burdening future generations with the reckless, irresponsibility of today. Star Trek is just a TV show... Evaporate trash??? C'mon now... get real.

on the norm, a plastic cup. it saves on washing dishes. (same with plastic plates and forks & spoons etc.) but if one isint available, then i'll opt for a glass.
