I got a double wall steel bottle from Amazon for $10. No sweating and it keeps water cold all day

Might have to get me one of them or a cozy
The condensation is caused by the temperature difference. Just drink warm water, it hydrates you exactly as well as cold does. Perhaps learn about the British tradition of drinking plant-leaf-flavored hot water.
With the option of also sweetening it with a plant juice extract
Suuuuuuuper long bendy straw so you don't have to pick it up.
I'm so dark and twisted that crazy straws are just straws to me
I'm so twisted a super long bendy straw is just a normal length straight straw
Just lick the condensation off first
But that's my cat's drinking water there!
Well then just let the cat lick off the condensation
it's free water!
Infinite water glitch, all you need is ice
easiest solution: drink lukewarm water.
funniest solution: rub oil all over your water glass. it won't sweat anymore. i cannot guarantee anything else.
Don't put ice in it or get a beer coozy.
Shit, but I love me ice.
then get a beer coozy! or an insulated cup.
there's only one thing to do: take your glassware to have its sweat glands surgically removed
Diy paper towel coaster/koozy
Hmm not a bad idea
Double wall vacuum flask is what you need! I like Yetis but you can find them pretty much anywhere at a ton of different price points.
anything that keeps the surrounding air from cooling and forming condensation on your glass -- any sort of insulator will do the trick

Only drink tall boy brewskies in paper bags
Sorry but I'm sober now.
I don't really suggest anyone drink, it's bad for everyone but it's the most cartoonish choice on a muggy day
Sweat more so the glass feels relatively dry.
let it warm up, obviously
what do you mean that's not what you want?
dehumidifier, napkin/can cozy, whatever keeps the moisture in the air away from the cold glass
To explain: Air has water gas in it, when the gas hits something colder than it there is a chance it'll get stuck and be liquid for a while. The colder the thing, or the more gas in the air (relative humidity) the the more that'll happen.
So you have 2 knobs you can twiddle: Make the surface less cold or the air less wet. Good luck with the second one, so on the first:
- Make the drink warm
- Change the cup so that the outside surface isn't cold
Under changing the cup you have insulated cups (vacuum thermoses are very good) or wrapping the cup in an insulator especially a slightly absorbent one like neoprene beer cosies.
Highly insulated cup. If the temperature of the outside of the cup does not change the water vapor in the air will not condense on it
Subject your glasses to an adrenaline overdose in the Falkland Islands.
another solution would be to get a bigger glass perhaps a mug and put your glass inside it. sure it's harder to drink but at least the sweat will be collected inside the mug and you can have another sip after finishing your glass.
