We here at Univ. of South Carolina do allow drinks in
spill-proof/resistant containers. Basically, we want something that
has a closeable top.
Soda cans, even though they have a small opening, are not allowed
because you can't close the opening. The new Lexis mugs, with the
wide base are ok. There is a (separate) lid to close the top and
the wide base makes the mug less likely to get knocked over. Of
course, we do have the problem of people stretching and outright
ignoring the rule.
