To drink from a cup or on the runn...without getting most of the contents all over you, down your windpipe, or up your nose... 1. Make a 'C' with the rest of your hand to help the cup keep its shape while you push in the FAR side with your index finger... 2. putting a crimp in the top of the cup. With the other fingers gather the fold... 3. ...so the top is now smaller than the bottom, small enough to get the top into your mouth. 4. Take a deep breath while running. Put the cup to your mouth. Take a mouthful and run with the cup while you swallow, take another breath or two and then finish off what's left in the cup with another mouthful...upspattered and on the run.
