This is not my dilemma, but one put to me by a certain wife of mine, who shall remain nameless. Consider, if you will--You are going to see a movie with a newish friend. It's really hot, and as the two of you sit down, you pull out your water bottle to have a much-needed drink. You take a big refreshing swig. Then you realise your friend doesn't have a drink. Do you-
A) Offer your friend a drink, but feel weird about it, as there's no straw and your basically offering them your backwash, but you feel it's what you're supposed to do.
B) Offer them a drink, without a qualm, comfortable in the fact that you're doing a nice thing, and they don't have to accept.
C) Not offer them a drink, and feel fine about it. Water bottles are a personal item, like roll-on deodorant. Something not to be shared, for the health and well-being of society as a whole. Your friend should know this.

Don't be a selfish, precious, nancy boy. Give your mate a drink.
Whats the worst that can happen? We are all the same bloody species!! You're not going to contract the cancer from sharing your drink bottle.
Mate, you use my eating impliments and drink from my cup, how much worse could it be?!?!
Yr directing this at me, but it wasn't my dilemma, and I haven't chosen my answer yet!
Gimme a chance to do this hiphop dance.
For the record, somewhere between a and b.
d. Get a tupperware drink bottle with a little cup on the bottom. Then you can pour them a drink if they are desperate.
a, but I like Simone's idea
Go Simone's route if possible; otherwise, C or D - say you'd offer them a drink but you don't want to inflict your germs on them. Most people will understand. Only qualm is if they say they don't mind and would still love a drink.
Pedro - you want to potentially get hepatitis, herpes, glandular fever and any number of other diseases?
