How many times have I told you, don't drink from the beakers.

I'm a chemist, and I've been gifted beaker tea-glasses and water glasses. They have been made for drinking, have never even been close to a lab, and yet drinking from a beaker makes me actually physically nauseous. It's 100% psychosomatic, I know it's fine, but my instincts scream at me not to do this, and I actually become nauseous when I drink water from a beaker.

So it's pretty easy not to
