Drinking water out of the cistern with the community tin cup hanging on wire

Those things were the berries. Cups on a chain bringing up cold water.:) 0 -
We shared a lot of things with each other in those days! How about a community tooth brush! 0 -
I distinctly remember cutting Tobacco and putting up Hay, where we all sat around in the closest Barn, (for shade) and had a large bucket of Ice Water with a communal ladle that was shared by all. Food brought out to us for lunch by the Womenfolk. Much appreciated. Times that will (unfortunately) never be repeated. Miss those days.

Ahhh, yes. The delightful cold of that tin cup on your lips, the icy water with an iron tang to it, the sense of camaraderie as you hand the ladle to the next thirsty guy. You never dipped twice, always waiting for your turn to come around again for a second cup. 0 -
Passing around the bottle of whiskey. (for medicinal purposes only now days)
That might not change though. (kinda depends of the brand of whiskey and how bad you want a drink or how drunk you already are)0 -
With the whiskey bottle, you always gave the rim a ritual wipe with your shirt sleeve before sipping. That cleaned it of everything from the last guy, don'cha know? 3
