Carrying liquids

I have a dual interest in the do-it-yourself solutions that individuals with disabilities utilize and/or develop to address certain challenges. As a researcher I am interested in the phenomenon of DIY accessibility solutions/practices and as someone with CP I am interested in finding and/or developing solutions that help me address my own personal challenges. One of the personal challenges that I have is finding ways to carry liquid substances without spilling them. I have some dexterity/muscle issues that make it very difficult to walk and carry drinks/food. For instance, carrying a cup of soup from the microwave to the kitchen table is extremely challenging. Does anyone else have this challenge? If so, what do you do to overcome it? Right now I use a large cup with a handle on it but if the cup is full it can be difficult to relax my muscles enough to carry it without spilling some of the contents.

Yes, I know exactly what Your talking about.
I have poor dexterity and low muscle tone(hypotania) Makes it hard to do even the simplest task, like playing guitar, But no matter how hard it get's I still play on, I keep trying.

For me, I carry everything with a lid, Like a can of soda, or soup, When I freeze it, I'll dump a container of it in a pan to heat it up,
then I dump it back in the container w/ the lid on (of course) So I can take down stairs or where ever.
There's a lot of way's U can adapt to cp

It explain's how, we with cp have to find alternative/different way's to live our lives.
