In another study, he and colleagues had 97 teens at a weight-loss camp pour their juice into either short, wide glasses or tall, skinny glasses. Both types held 22.3 ounces of liquid. The researchers found that the kids who used the short glasses poured an average of 9.6 ounces of juice; those who used the tall glasses poured 5.5 ounces.
