Quick Drink Logic Riddle

Challenging your logic has not ever been more satisfying than this. Are you ready to take your drink, but before you do, just agree to follow a few tiny little rules?

Challenging your logic has not ever been more satisfying than this. Are you ready to take your drink, but before you do, just agree to follow a few tiny little rules?

You have been lost in a very hot desert for 3 days and you ran out of water 2 days ago. The thirst needs to be quenched by any mean necessary. As luck would to have it, you stumble upon a friendly stranger who happens to have a refreshing jug of water with him.

You ask for a drink of his water and he agrees, but under his rules.

You may take a drink of my water, but follow these three rules:

  1. Do not brake or crack my glass jug, because it is the only one that I have
  2. Do not remove the cork
  3. Do not drill or punch a hole in the cork

So, you drank the water and left. How did you do it?

I can think of two possible answers:
1) You ask him to open the jug, and he does.

2) You killed him and took his stupid jug. You're dying in the desert, for God's sake.

You push the cork in to the jug, which does not remove it nor put holes in to the cork. Right?

even though you were dehydrated you still had the manners to ask for a drink from your new found host and waited patiently for him to pour it.

and corrected his english spelling from BRAKE to break

After noticing his english was so bad you then noticed that indeed he had a jug that when corked can still be poured.

Jug had a screw top.

Push the cork into the jug.

I would not be carrying a drill at this stage of the game but as for punching, well, that is a different matter.
