Best Answer

Eating and drinking scenes sometimes take many takes. If they were really eating and/or drinking, the actor would probably become ill from consuming too much. But they should at least have a liquid in the cup when pretending.

How do you play beer pong?

You need an 8ft long table, and 10 party cups for each side. Make them into a pyramid shape with 2 or 3 beer for each side. You need two ping pong balls. You can have 2 to a team, or just singles. "You sink it, you drink it" If you air a ball, you drink a cup. If both teamates make it in the same cup, they drink 3 cups. If the teamates both make it but different cups, drink both and they get balls back. If you bounce it into a cup, they have to drink 2 cups. Remember to drink responsibly.

Was gertrude the first person to drink the poisoned wine in Hamlet?

The exact reason why Gertrude drinks from the poison cup is not clear based on the text. Ultimately, there are two options 1) It's accidental - the cup was there, she was thirsty, she didn't realize it was poisoned.2) It's intentional - she realizes Claudius is trying to kill her son, and drinks to keep it from Hamlet.Olivier's 1948 film version leans towards option 2, as indicated by the shots of Gertrude before she drinks. Other Oedipal interpretations will similarly indicate that she knows what she's doing and why.However, there is little in what she says that suggests she knows the cup is poisoned. The king asks her not to drink it, she says she will. He notes in an aside that it is the cup with poison, and when dying she recognizes what has happened. The simpler explanation is that she does not realize it until too late.

After you pour all solids and liquids out of a cup, it will still be full, full of gas, that is. If you empty a cup in space, it may still be considered full, as in full of space or vacuum. Otherwise, a cup is empty as soon as you pour out all the solids and liquids.
