Go get something to drink.
Uh-huh. You. Make with the glass of water, can of soda, coffee mug etc.
Now take a sip. Don't put down the glass/can/mug/cup just yet. Look at your hand first...
Is your pinky raised? Why or why not? If so, then do you find anything wrong with it being raised? If not, then is it because you are making the conscious decision not to raise it?
I don't usually raise my pinky, but I do hold it out extended away from the rest of my fingers. Only when drinking tea (which is about 12 hours per day) though, since tea makes me so joyous that my pinky simply can't stand not standing up proudly.
I've never raised my pinky when I drink. I have all of my fingers gripping onto my coffee mug.
Oh my god my pinky is raised!
If I'm drinking from a cup, no, it isn't. Although, if I drink from a can or bottle, I get fancy and raise it out of habit for some reason :D!?
Left hand, no.
Right hand, yes.
Probably got something to do with hand dominance and how strongly I needed to hold something with all of my fingers, as opposed to how weakly I should hold it in my dominant hand. I don't have a problem with it.
Yes, because of Spongebob. When in doubt, pinky out.
hmm my pinky on my left hand tends to curl under the base of the container, so if it's a glass my finger is on the bottom. with my right hand my pinky stands up.
If I drink from a cup or a can, it's raised.
But when it's like, 12 Oz bottle, I keep a firm grip.
That's probably because my rotten friends are always stealing my vegetable juice.
Mine is always raised...When I'm typing, when I'm drinking, when I'm using a fork or spoon or chopsticks...
I guess it's a natural sign of etiquette?
I grip with all my fingers. I always thought that it looked more manly that way. Plus, you never know when those glasses are going to slip from your grasp. And the amount of strength in my pinky will... not make any difference at all.
Heh, I made that mistake once or twice. But that was when I was carrying a gallon of milk home.
Then it got run over.
Twice.
Not a pretty picture, I'll tell you.
Mine is up! Pinky Up! I never noticed tha before pretty cool.:cool:
Actually when I'm just holding it as I noticed through further investigation is my pinky is slightly touching the glass but when I'm drinking it's almost always is up.:)
I'm sure if i picked up a mug my Pinky would be gripping it.:)
Oh, and I would like to thank you! By walking over and getting a glass of milk I was forced to open the refrigerater and I found a pudding! I love pudding and I wouldn't have opened up the frig if it weren't for this thread. So YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep. It's raised. Not really suprising- I don't use my pinky for much anyways. I usually don't even use it while typing.
No, I don't raise my pinky. My mother raised me better.
No, when I drink tea I have it kinda curled underneath, not gripping the cup but not sticking out. :p
My pinky is tucked away beneath my hand when i drink from a glass/can but used to grip the handle on any handled drinking containers. Though sometimes i like to hold handled containers with both hands without using the handle.

No, no, no, no, no
Sometimes when I'm drinking an alcoholic beverage I raise my pinky, but not for anything else.
