The question assumes that you are in mixed company and not just by yourself at your home.

As a host or even as a guest, your goal is to not cause discomfort to your company. So don't put the glass so close to the edge that people start to worry about it

That is exactly why I asked the question. How far away from the edge is that tough? The question comes from a friend that sometimes places his glass with an overhang, something I personally find psychotic.

that friend shall be casually provided a plastic tumbler sippy cup.

Then you know the answer. The answer what would make you comfortable. Your friend is psychotic with overhanging glasses.

It's difficult to give you an exact answer cuz it depends on the group of people. Some people don't care about overhanging glasses some people do.

At a restaurant where nobody's responsible for cleanup, the overhanging glass becomes less of your problem and more of an interesting thing. If you saw an overhanging glass on another table would you go over and correct it? No

If your friend is persistently doing this, and they won't take feedback, put a little lip around the edge of your table so the glass can't hang off the edge
