Cups play a vital role in the lives of mankind.  They provide us with our favorite beverages , be it coffee or beer, and in this way we form a deep bond – or perhaps a friendship – with our cups.

I may be exaggerating our relationship with cups a little bit, but I am sure some of you recall the episode in season one of Cheers where Coach has a name for every glass in the bar.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that you can read on to find a pretty solid list of cups for your favorite drinks.

Coffee

A good 20 ounce coffee mug is like a good friend, except this good friend is always up and waiting to help you out at six in the morning.  There is a coffee mug out there for everyone – football fans, Americans, 40-year olds, and people with first names.

Below are a few cool 20 ounce coffee mugs:

• Hawaiian Coffee Mug  20 oz. Big Kahuna
• 20 oz. Foam Insulated Wide Body Thermoserv Mug
• Harley Davidson Classic Tankard 20 oz. Coffee Mug

Wine

Although I have been known to drink wine out of anything from a plastic water bottle to a wooden spoon, it’s good to have nice wine glasses around for when you have company.

• Ravenscroft Amplifier Bordeaux Grand Cru Wine Glass
• Libbey 3264 Chivalry 8 oz Wine Glass 36CS
• Riedel Vinum Classic Zinfandel Wine Glass

Beer

I personally prefer to drink beer out of a beer mug rather than a bottle or can and here are a few that are up for the job:

• Badash Pilsner Beer Glass
• Anchor Hocking 16 oz. Beer Mug
• Soft plastic glasses

Coffee, wine, and beer, what else does a person need to drink?  Oh yeah – water.  Well, I guess you can drink water out of whatever you want.
