The height of the glass must be equal to approximately 1.6 times the distance from the edge, so that it achieves the golden ratio

Distance from edge = 1,5 times height of the glass.

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.
