The Design

About Bird's Sake Cup Cup to Refrain from Drinking

Bird's Sake Cup is a drinking cup designed to limit alcohol intake. The cup holds only 10 ml of liquor, so a drink is taken in small amounts over time. The form recalls a small bird, and the beak holds a hole sized to release the liquor slowly. Bird's Sake Cup supports people who are sensitive to alcohol and people who need to reduce alcohol consumption. The cup is made of transparent acrylic by three-dimensional printing. It measures 40 mm in width, 130 mm in height and 60 mm in depth, and weighs 35 grams.
