Is it wrong to drink water from a glass and put that glass back in the cupboard?

I was wondering if that was wrong? even though it's just water in the glass, it has touched somebody's lips!! isn't thete bacteria that can multiply and potentially become harmful to the next person using that same glass, and what if that process is repeated by the next person and so forth?
I would like some scientific answer by Bio and Med staff.

scientifically (a doc told me this) that we have more bacteria in the mouth than in the bum....and i pray whoever reads this washes their hand after a sh!t.....

so there goes...this is as scientific as it gets.

Judging from the comment you made to shall you should restate your question to make it clear that you only want a professional opinion

Of course it is wrong, wash the glass if you must put it back immediately.....

I'm no scientist, but logic states that bacteria is transmitted via oral & other contact, so whether a glass or whatever, if said object is not thoroughly cleaned afterwards then those little pesky bacterium will have a wild party!

Next person in contact with that object will surely know about it.

Disease spreads very easily, hence the use of anti-bacterial soaps in many wash-rooms, hospitals etc, all to stop bacteria being transmitted.

Hope that helps in your quest?!
