My theory is that when you're younger, you collect T-shirts. When you get older - Coffee mugs. They serve the same purpose: Mildly utilitarian while reminding you of some person, place or event. We have your typical collection of mugs: Christmas presents, birthday presents, trip to Starbucks, Church anniversary mug, etc... Like t-shirts, you always have far more mugs than you usually need at any one time. Our mugs make their way through a life cycle: front shelf, back shelf, top shelf, garage sale.
I generally prefer a mug for my all-round drinking receptacle. It will hold warm and cold drinks is is just the right size to feel comfortable in the hand. It doesn't easily tip over and you can pick a different one according to your mood of the day.
