A member asked:
Was wondering if you can catch hiv, hepatitis or anything from sharing drinks with friends? thanks

No: HIV just won't travel this way. Hepatitis A travels fecal-oral; exceptionally poor hygiene by someone involved presents a risk but probably less than in ordinary eating because of the alcohol.
