Will the water stay in a falling glass?

Everyday experience tells me that a glass filled with water will fall and smash on the ground as a whole object as it started (water and glass together).
Is my intuition right?
I know that in absence of friction all objects fall at the same rate, but I'm trying to analyze an everyday situation so air resistance must be taken in account!
Been knowing that there is friction exerted on the glass and on the water,
Will there be different outcomes if I use different types of glasses?
Let's say a plastic glass (Can I say that? I hope) and a ( glass) glass ahah.
I came up with some theories but they're long to eplain anyway I will post a link in the comment if somone has curiosity or time to read it!
