Eliminating condensation on a cylindrical container of a fluid

OK, so that was just a fancy sciency way of putting it.

I drink iced tea in a glass. Several minutes after I fill it, the condensation on the outside falls to the bottom of the glass and forms a puddle. If I don't wipe it off, the condensation drips on me and my chair.

How can I prevent this condensation from forming?

1	get one of those thermos cups. there cheap ones at many random 99 cent stores, the cheap ones suck for the most part as all it is 2 cups molded together but it works good enough to stop any condensation. answered Aug 19 '10 at 20:38 Razor512 15.6k●34●80●242 edited Aug 19 '10 at 20:39
