Was that a highball that W had in his podium?

[underpants]

Sorry for yet another debate thread but near the end the camera caught W actually tipping his head back and downing the rest of the "water" in what looked like a highball glass.

He then reached back down to get another glass just like it.

Well it was past his "bedtime"...er....when he "retires to the living quarters"

Tending Bar: Glassware

It is essential to serve concoctions in the correct glassware. ...

If you plan on running a home bar, highball, lowball, and cocktail glasses are almost essential. The highball glass is fine for any large mixed drink, while the lowball glass can be used for any smaller drink served with ice......

Highball Glass - 8 or 12 ounces
Although it's called a highball glass, highball glasses are often used to make more than just highballs.. A highball is any drink that mixes alcohol and a mixer. Scotch and soda, bourbon and water, gin and tonic - you get the idea. There are several shots that are served in highball glasses, as are some sours, collinses, juleps, and many other varieties of cocktails. Highball glasses are clear, simple, and will probably be the glasses that you use the most.

Lowball Glass (rocks glass) - 4 to 9 ounces
The lowball glass is also known as the rocks glass because it is used to serve many drinks with ice in them. The lowball glass is appropriate for serving any stirred cocktail on the rocks, and is clear to display the hues of your chilled concoction. It has also lately become popular to serve many traditional highball drinks in lowball glasses.
