It really bothers me that often when I order a second or nth draught the overworked wait staff on behalf of a glutton for punishment dishwasher person brings me out a new frosted mug (yuck usually with a bit of old frozen dishwater in the bottom to dilute my already weak american beer...)

Is this some sort of important folk practice or could we cut the price by the labor saved and just use the same old glass or mug for each round or perhaps bring our own?

I don't like my beverage all that ice cold anyway.
