Drinking from a beverage, sometimes represented as drinkingfromabeverage, refers to the act of consuming liquid that is prepared for drinking, typically from a vessel such as a glass, cup, bottle, or carton. The action usually involves tilting the container toward the mouth, allowing liquid to flow, and using the lips and tongue to regulate flow. The specific method depends on the container, the beverage, and the drinker's preferences, and it is commonly performed for refreshment, nutrition, or enjoyment.

Common vessels include glasses, mugs, cups, bottles, and sealed pouches. Liquid can be consumed by tilting and pouring directly into the mouth, or by drawing through a straw. Some beverages are taken directly from their packaging, while others are poured into a separate vessel. Accessories such as lids, straws, and spouts can improve hygiene, reduce spills, or accommodate children and accessibility needs.

Etiquette and cultural norms surrounding drinking vary. In many contexts, it is polite to lower the container between sips or refrain from slurping; in others, sipping directly from a bottle or using a straw may be acceptable. Public settings often emphasize hygiene, sharing practices, and the appropriate drinkware for the occasion.

Health and safety considerations include staying hydrated, moderating intake of caffeine or alcohol, and avoiding choking hazards with hot or carbonated drinks. Cleanliness is important: containers and accessories should be washed regularly, especially reusable items. For infants and young children, age-appropriate vessels and supervision reduce risk and promote safe drinking habits. Environmental concerns encourage the use of reusable containers and responsible disposal of disposable packaging.
