    Yes, the pink eyes may spread by sharing drinks. As we know, the pink eyes are the inflammation eyes which can be contagious. It is often happened in hot season where the bacterium is moving actively. You should not share the drinks with people getting the pink eyes. Or else, you will get the pink eyes too. People with pink eyes should stay at home and not go out and take part in the public activities.

    Pink eye is the inflammation or redness or hemorrhage of the outer layer of the eye. Pink eye can be caused by viruses and bacteria that can be spread from person to person. Pink eye is contagious and it is easily spread by contact with fluid from the eyes, nose, and mouth of an infected person or through contact with a contaminated object touched by the infected person, such as towel, handkerchief, washbasin, toy, coin, doorknob, etc. Therefore, when one gets pink eyes, you should not share drinks with him, otherwise you can be infected with pink eyes easily.

    Well, generally speaking, sharing drink with someone else, it can not spread pink eyes. As we know that pink eyes is an infection of the eye or eyes which can lead to redness, itching, irritation, and a characteristic creamy discharge in your eyes. Also, pink eyes can be contagious. So you should not be sharing an object, such as a washcloth or towel, with a person who has pinkeye can spread the infection. In other words, by sharing washcloth, they can carry many bacteria, so that it can lead to infection to your eyes, even the pink eyes, for our eyes are very sensitive to the infection. so just be careful about it.
