As other have said, I keep a cup handy so I can take a drink from the lake.  If your cup isn't handy there is a tendency to wait for an opportunity to take your cup out.

Yep.  I started doing this only about 3 years ago and another reason to do it is I know I have a back up cup if something happens to my coffee mug.  The one I keep in the canoe is probably lexan so it's very tough and weighs nothing and is completely out of the way where I stash it within reach.

When I tell (regular) people that I drink directly from the lake it really perks up their ears.  :)
