System for Identifying One's Drinking Glass at a Party

Abstract

A set of drinking glasses, preferably goblets, provided each with a prominent and permanent single number, letter, a combination and/or symbol from a sequential set of the same, which number, letter, combination symbol is etched, engraved or otherwise cut into the glass. The entire set can be distributed to guests at a dinner party such that each guest is provided with a unique symbol thereon and, yet, the other glasses are otherwise identical to one another. The guests will know the glass they have been served with and thus will know that they are meant to keep that glass and not drink from another glass of another guest. This is easily accomplished, once the glasses are distributed, by each guest having his or her own unique glass, i.e., a glass from the otherwise identical set with a unique, prominent and permanent symbol thereon.
