It's called condensation. it's not sweat. There's microscopic liottle drops of moisture in the air that get collected toward cold areas, on a hot day, it has no where to go but toward a cold glass of water.

The glass is not actually "sweating." What you are seeing is condensation of water molecules from the air onto the glass's surface. Because the water in the glass has less energy than the water in the air (it's cooler), energy from the water molecules in the warmer air is given up to warm the cooler water in the glass. This loss of energy results in the air water molecules' inability to break the number of hydrogen bonds between themselves necessary to remain in the gas phase and ultimately the condensation of water onto the outside of the glass surface.

Why a glass filled with a cold beverage seems to sweat?

The phenomena is a good explanation of the condensation processes that is happening in our atmosphere. There are lots of water vapor around us. As this water vapors touch the out side portion of a cold glass, the cold temperature within a cold glass condenses those water vapors, thus, converting it from a gaseous state to a liquid state. Since in its liquid form, it is more denser than gas, the water formed as we termed sweat appears and flow outside a cold glass.

What happens when a cold glass of iced tea sits outside in the sun?

Water will condense from the air onto the glass, so it will develop droplets of water. and the tea will warm up, if left outside for a long enough time. If it is sweat tea, it will draw flies and some kinds of bees.
