I once knew a guy who tried to drink a flaming shot without blowing it out, whereupon he spit it all over the place, and his beard, all of which instantly ignited.... I like the sparkles on the base rim of the glass, but the reflected light near the top rim is distracting. Good color.

I think more lighting and shooting from a lower angle could help this...

Glasses are very hard to light, I would do it from the back.

The lighting here is extremely poor. I like the idea you had, but it could have been better executed.

This looks a little under exposed! You should get yourself some lights.
It's enough to make you sick, but for me it's a 3 at best

Could be lighter, and whiter

Nice idea, the white balance is off, maybe some contrast would have helped. I do like your title, 6.
