Abstract: |
An assemblage and system for drinking a plurality of potable and/or medicinal liquids simultaneously from discrete receptacles. The assemblage comprises a plurality of conduits joined together that convey isolated streams of the liquids from separate receptacles into the mouth. Preferably, the conduits are mechanically deformable along their axes of elongation. The conduits are joined by a catch, by binding, by molding the conduits as a single unit, by a joining structure, or by raveling. The system includes the assemblage and a number of joined receptacles.
