No...to get "oral" herpes, there has to be maintained contact between your lips and there's.
But I guess if they had an open, oozing soar and you drink right after them on the same spot, it's possible.
Herpes is far more common that you think and people can have it without having any symptoms.

I think Lessette has the right answer here. I knew someone who always had problems with cold sores and the mate of that person began having the same problem.
But I was always told that diseases when getting into the air, die instantly from exposure to less than ideal temperatures. I'm not quite sure I always agreed with that therory! If that were the case then what's with all the "RED BAG" fuss????
I'd rather be safe than sorry and avoid that contact! I find it rather discusting anyway for folks to be drinking from the same vessel!
Who wants someone to be back washing in their drink???

Herpes Simplex 1 (cold sores) is not likely to be spread that way, but it's not impossible.
As someone already said, it is far more common than many realize. I once read that an estimated 80% of the population has HS1. It can be inherited... which is how I got it. However, I have only had one "cold sore" in the past 25 years.
Also, you can catch HS2 (genital herpes) from contact with someone with an active HS1 lesion.

A cold sore is the same as Oral Herpes. Oral Herpes is caused by Herpes Simplex 1 or 2. A cold sore is not an std and you can get it from a kiss, but you can't get it from sharing a drink

sorry matte, but i hope you dont believe your answer. my daughter who was 2 at the time got a cold sore. and the pediatrician called it a cold sore. when i went to pick up her ointment, on the label it said "to treat herpes" i freaked out! this was my first child!! i went to teh counter upset they gave me the wrong medicine. the pharmacist took me aside and talked about different type of herpes. and he told me she must have sipped from another persons cup who had it. well i found out who it was. but how could i get upset. this person thought he had a habit of getting blisters for no reason. so becareful about sharing drinks with anyone who gets cold sores often. now she gets cold sores when her immunity is low. it's not deadly or anything. but a pain ...literally. but bad information can lead to a pesky mouth sore. becareful!!

No, not from drinking after them.

yes, its by contact, so sharing a glass constantly can post a problem.
