How, uh... how you guys drink drinks?

sarukun

I put my tongue against the roof of my mouth like I'm saying "L" or "D" and let the drink flow around the sides of my tongue. I have aboslutely no idea why I do it that way or how I started doing it that way, but it seems weird to me.

Validate my existance plz.

Houk

Depends entirely on what I'm drinking, what kind of apparatus I'm drinking out of, and how thirsty I am.

I contain multitudes and this simplistic poll is an insult to my varied nature.

This was my intention from the beginning.

You will rue this day that I bested you for all time, Namebringer.

Sorce

I think it would be hilarious if sarukun ends up the only one voting in the poll.

I simply dip my proboscis into the liquid and suck it up, like a normal human?

ChicoBlue

I just put it in there and see what happens.

If it's in a carton container I just eat the container to keep it simple.

Efficient. I admire that.

Depressperado

Tongue resting on the bottom of my mouth, as one of the living dead, liquid poured directly into the throat

if it's a soda or seltzer I do a weird like, retracted tongue thing and the carbonation pops against the front of my tongue before reaching the back of my throat, makes it easier to drink!

otherwise, tongue down, I'm not a strumpet


despite the "tongue down" implications

Madican

Tongue against the roof of my mouth to block all liquid until I apply suction to pull just enough in for a single gulp at a time

Classy.

You're a classy dude, Dep.

I own a drinking horn

It's neat but I almost never use it

I have a drinking horn mug for work



The heat sleeve pops off to create a base so I can put it down

I've got some ones made out of actual horn, too, but I use those as tealight holders

If I don't hold my tongue down against the floor of my mouth, I can't get the bottle nestled up against my epiglottis.

KalTorak

I noticed a while ago that my wife drinks water by emptying the glass into her cheeks and then going about her business while gulping from the cheek reservoir for the next 20 seconds or so.

I have no idea but I know I'm gonna be intensely overthinking it now and I'm really mad I opened this thread just as I was making my morning coffee.

Normally a nice calming moment to start my day but no now I gotta be aware of what my tongue's doing the whole time, thanks for that.

Yes

Just chug everything.

DarkPrimus

I deposit the liquid inside my sustenance receptacle and allow my mucus membranes to gradually absorb the liquid as it travels down my digestion pipes.

You know, as a human being does.

My tongue does not interact with liquids or drinking vessels particularly, except at the back as part of swallowing. Mostly a lip thing.

This is not something I've ever had to actively think about and I'm not about to start now.

If I owned a drinking horn, I would never use anything else.

Whole milk from a drinking horn.

Tap water from a drinking horn.

Boba tea from a drinking horn.

For no reason at all, I noticed how I was drinking and I have been able to think of nothing else until I made this thread.

I've been blinking in morse code at all the passengers on the Taipei MRT "I drink with my tongue in the 'L' position, am I a deviant?".

Either nobody knows morse code here or they're all ignoring me because I'm a deviant.

I have grown beyond the need for liquid sustenance (LarLar)

I mean your first mistake is probably asking a pack of known deviants

Mistake?

Or cunning plan?

DemonStacey

Some wacky bullshit, like through a crazy straw or lapped like a domesticated animal

So I had no idea until timhis thread but as of testing my answer is none of the above!

My tongue slightly raises. Not touching the roof of my mouth or anywhere near it. But not resting flat either. Not touching the glass.

Just a slight, yet noble, raise of the tongue. Not unlike Nessie peeking out of Loch Ness.

God damnit, you have made me aware of a thing that I had previously been non cognizant of.
Now I'm going to be thinking about this for the rest of the day each time I take a drink.

64% of this thread is just gonna be "damn you for making me think about this".

I have no idea. I am drinking a cup of tea right now and so far every mouthful my tongue has adopted a different position. I think it's nervous about the attention.

I would need to test it out on other drinks, but for coffee at my desk i definitely put my tongue against the lip of the mug while i drink. I'm not sure if I do that for everything because it's one of those things you never think about.

I just tried the tongue on roof of mouth method, and I had to really concentrate to not choke on the water.
