Abstract
An assemblage and system for drinking a plurality of potable and/or medicinal liquids simultaneously from discrete receptacles. The assemblage comprises a plurality of conduits joined together that convey isolated streams of the liquids from separate receptacles into the mouth. The cross-sectional area of the conduits regulate the amount of each liquid reaching the mouth and may be dynamically controlled. Preferably, the conduits are mechanically deformable along their axes of elongation. Preferably, the conduits are joined together near the end of the conduits that enter the mouth. The conduits are joined by a catch, by binding, or by molding the conduits as a single unit. The system includes the assemblage and a number of isolated receptacles.
