There's more than one way to skin a cat - and even more ways to hold your drink. Picking up a glass may seem like a pretty straightforward practice, but that depends entirely on who you ask. From table manners specialists to scientists, and now Twitter, it seems everyone has their own methods when it comes to hand positions. Twitter user Daniel Inman decided to have some fun with this everyday action and asked the question "what's the worst way to hold your drink?" and people responded with the most insane, hilarious and clever ideas. The list below contains some of the best answers and may even give you some new ideas, so don't forget to upvote your favorite funny photos! Inman's post may seem awkward, but according to science, there is a right way to hold your coffee mug. Physicist Jiwon Han, tired of spilling his morning java, decided to do a scientific study on the problem and while part of spills can be summed up to size and shape of the drinking vessel vs. the amount of liquid, the way you hold your glass does play a role. It turns out, holding the rim of a mug with a claw-like grasp from the top was the most secure way to transport a beverage, albeit not really in the lines of good manners. While it sounds uncomfortable, Han explained that it keeps the mug's center of gravity relatively stable. He even had his subjects walk backward during the experiment and found the same positive results.

Etiquette expert Myka Meier, founder and director of Beaumont Etiquette, states that the proper way to hold a coffee mug is to: "Curve your index finger through the handle while keeping your thumb on top of the handle. Then curl the remaining three fingers into the bottom of your hand. Also, the cup should be positioned at 3 o' clock, which will help keep your lipstick marks all in one place." #3 © Photo: lahhamid #4 © Photo: kriddi_jpg Tea and coffee cups are different sizes and weights and thus require a different cup holding technique. Meier instructs that the proper way to hold a tea cup is as follows: “You never loop your index finger into the handle. Instead, your index finger should meet your thumb through the handle as if you were pinching, and your middle finger should support by being placed under the handle. Think ‘pinch and support!’” Also forget what you learned from Alice in Wonderland and keep your pinky down! #5 © Photo: AnneliseDawn #6 © Photo: kambiztaher Rules and etiquette change depending on where you are in the world. It's true the British are known for their 'high teas' but tea was born in China and they have their own unique set of customs when it comes to teatime. The Chinese perform an entire ritual when it comes to serving up this hot beverage and can vary between the regions, but when it comes to holding their cups one thing stays the same - use both hands to hold your tea. #7 © Photo: kateodonnell #8 © Photo: nickolsssss Coffee and tea are nice, but what about alcohol? The glass depends on the beverage and so does how you hold the glass. Martini glasses are elegant and precarious drinks to carry, however, etiquette dictates you should hold it by the stem. The same rules apply to wine glasses - this prevents changing the temperature of the drink. Brandy is the exception to the stem rule and should be cupped by the bowl of the glass - in this case the warmth from your hands improve the aroma. #9 © Photo: idkojo #10 © Photo: cheymcal Out of all the drinks it seems like there is no wrong way to drink a beer - wrong.

29 Funny Worst Ways To Hold Your Drink Reviewed by New Viral Feed on 12:53 Rating: 5

A late-night prank in Georgia turned into a heartbreaking tragedy after a high school teacher was fatally struck by a vehicle outside his own home. The incident took place in Gainesville, Georgia, on Thursday, March 5, as a group of teenagers attempting a common prank quickly escalated into a fatal accident that has left five young people facing criminal charges. “Absolutely heartbreaking. A prank gone wrong took an innocent life. My thoughts are with the teacher’s family, friends, and students,” wrote one user. A high school beloved math teacher was struck by a vehicle while confronting teens outside his home Image credits: Cliff Cape According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred around 11:40 p.m., outside Jason Hughes’ home. Authorities from the Hall County Sheriff’s Office shared that a group of teenagers had targeted the property as part of a prank commonly known as “rolling a house”, which involves throwing toilet paper across a property, 11 Alive reported. Image credits: Jason Hughes Hughes, a 40-year-old math teacher and golf coach at North Hall High School, stepped outside after noticing the commotion. Officials claimed he approached the vehicles that the teens were attempting to flee in. As 18-year-old Jayden Wallace drove his pickup truck away from the scene, Hughes allegedly tripped and fell into the road. The vehicle reportedly struck him during the attempted escape. Image credits: Oddland66 Image credits: CliveTrotterOnX Wallace and two other teens stopped immediately and attempted to help the injured teacher, providing first aid until emergency responders arrived. Hughes was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. Unfortunately, he later passed away from his injuries on Friday, March 6. Following the incident, five teens were arrested for the prank Image credits: Ely Self Image credits: BeyUncanny Authorities confirmed that five teenagers were arrested in connection with the incident, all of whom are 18 years old. The driver, Jayden Wallace, will be facing the most serious charges, including first-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving, criminal trespass, and littering on private property. If convicted of the top charge, Wallace could face between three and 15 years in prison. Image credits: FOX 5 Atlanta Image credits: LogicRules1st Four others allegedly involved in the prank were Elijiah Owens, Aiden Hucks, Ana Katherine Luque, and Ariana Cruz. All of them were also arrested at the scene and were charged with criminal trespass and littering, per WSBTV. Wallace is currently being held on a $1,950 bond. However, authorities shared that the investigation is ongoing, and it remains unclear why Hughes’ home was specifically targeted that night. Hughes’ loss shook the community as they remembered him as a devoted teacher, father, and mentor Image credits: FOX 5 Atlanta The loss has deeply shaken the North Hall High School community, where Hughes was known as a passionate educator and coach. In a statement shared with local media, the school district paid tribute to his impact on students and colleagues. “Our hearts are broken. Jason Hughes was a loving husband, a devoted father, a passionate teacher, mentor, and coach who was loved and respected by students and colleagues,” the school district shared. “He gave so much to so many in numerous ways. Our hearts and prayers go out to his wife and family.” Image credits: CarlosAllenIII1 Image credits: kingBuchyk Hughes leaves behind his wife, Laura, who also teaches math at the school, and their two young children.
