OK, for the past week I've noticed that my brother tries to secretly drink out of milk containers, soda, juice, everything...I even caught him...I also caught him sticking his finger in peanut butter, eating the peanut butter and doing it over again. HE'S 19 also!
The thing that bothers me is that he is sooo gross, not to be rude...he brushes his teeth maybe 3-4 times a week...I normally brush mine 14. And you don't even wanna know what else he says he does with his mouth...
Basically, what should I do? I don't wanna tell my parents because I'll feel bad after and I don't wanna confront him because I KNOW he will deny it and he'll probably hit me...yeah, he's that immature. So now I drink water all the time...that's what I had with my pop tarts for breakfast:-(...
And I don't wanna resort to buying my own because of him...it's unnecesary!
AND ALSO
what should I do w/ food I made for school for a small party...since milk was an ingrediant...throw it out?
Thanks for any help!

Ok here is what you can do:
From now on, any food you make for a party, wrap in a white plastic bag and knot it at the end. Put it on the bottom shelf of the fridge or on the very top shelf where it's hard to see. It'll be less accessible to him and since it's hard to get into, he'll probably leave it alone. But as for the food you have made now for your school party, don't worry too much about it-any bacteria was probably killed in the cooking process and people aren't going to die from eating it. But it's up to you of course.
One thing you could do to solve your problem with him drinking out of containers is pour the milk into the juice container and the juice into the milk container. That might teach him to pour his liquids into a glass before drinking them, just to see what they are. If that's too much work, you can take freshly bought milk/juice and pour half the contents into another bottle-like container. That way he'll still have "his" carton to drink out of and you'll have your own untampered milk/juice. You can do the same with the peanut butter, etc.
And be thankful he doesn't use your toothbrush to brush his teeth lol That would be worse than any of the gross things he's doing now. And I've seen it happen.

He's your brother and it doesn't sound like he'll listen to reason so if your parents won't do anything about it then serious payback is in order. Start with a big whopping goo of vaseline on the milk carton spout thingy. You could leave the milk out long enough to let it spoil then put it back, or just pour a few tablespoons of vinegar in it, get it nice and chunky for him. I had a mean brother growing up too and could give you some really yucky and gross ideas but I think if you let your imagination lead the way you'll have great success in teaching that little creep a lesson :) I do think you should get a small fridge with a lock for your room. They are like $50 right now, cheap for peace of mind!

Why ask the question if you are afraid to do everything? If you're afraid of hurting people's feelings, your life will be full of you always being plagued with problems.
Come straight out and ask your parents if there maybe a house rule about shared food and using utensils/dishes.
As for his hygeine...that's his business. Not yours.

Why do you keep asking this question? This is the third time you have asked what to do. Tell your parents and get it over with! It's their responsibility to make him behave.
There is no reason to feel bad. Your brother is a slob, and should be stopped.

Try a little hot sauce around the container opening.
Seriously you should let your parents know as they have to drink the stuff too. If you are afraid he will hit you then you have to let your parents know that too.

It's absolutely disgusting and rude. If he can't change his habits then you will have to buy seperate drinks and label them.

poke a hole right near the top so that when he wraps his bacteria infested lips around the spout, he will get it all over his shirt!
