Beer glass sweating stroke protocol

A major problem which my therapists did not cover. Napkins stick to the bottom of the glass and you look extremely silly drinking beer with a napkin dangling in front of you. There is no way I can get my left arm/hand to stay on the table, much less place it in position to hold the napkin down. So the pinky finger gets the call to separate itself from hand and peel the napkin off.  The cardboard coasters do not have this problem since I can usually hit the stuck coaster against another friends glass to knock it off.
There is an appalling lack of protocols to address this issue. It is impacting my social connections and thus ruining my stroke recovery.

  1. Another solution: when the server puts the little napkin in front of you when you order the drink, remove it from the table/bar; then it'll be missing when the server returns to your spot. Sometimes they'll replace the napkin, but sometimes not.
