Your bedside drink...

[dolly's gal]

I now know what all the fuss is about with the rioja, I thought it was shit when I first tried it but now I drink more of it than I do lager

rioja is fucking beautiful, especially in front of an open fire, on a cold winters night. it's the drink of the motherfucking gods

 

[STFC]

Pint of water. Just have a sip each time I get up to go to the bathroom (at least twice a night), then down the rest as soon as I get up to wash down Berocca and milk thistle.

 

[*Miss Daisy*]

Bottle of water. Ideally "sport" cap to facilitate drinking whilst lying down. Sometimes it really is just too much effort to lift my head

Ha!! Thats me to a tea/tee/T

I always have a sports cap bottle by me bed - infact i have about 4 at the moment lazy cow!

and indeed a sports cap is a must - none of that having to sit up at 3am to sip from a glass and tip water on me nightie,,

 

[boozybirdie]

Bottle of sparkling water normally but if there is likely to be a hangover then sprite or 7up

I can imagine that being nice.........sitting there in front of the roaring fire, in my smoking jacket, slowly sipping a large glass of room temp rioja while meticulously contemplating the murder of my cheating wife

Gonorrhea

i dont take any drink to bed with me. why would i, i am asleep

Some of us spend the night watching the clock go round, reading sporadically, counting sheep, etc. It's thirsty work....

And some of us wake constantly throughout the night, with tongues stuck to the roofs of our mouths

I can't go to bed without a drink - there's nowt worse than waking up at 2,3 4 am and have to go back downstairs (and out of bed ) for a drink

 

[trashpony]

I have a small bottle of water, usually with a sports cap, to guard against cats.

I discovered last night that building a substantial yet unstable barrier of books and magazines around the bedside table performs the same activity. I took a glass of water to bed with me last night for the first time in years

See, I tried something similar. And it ended up with a smashed glass, water on my radio alarm, and one very skittish kitty raking me as she shot past

My cats are quite elderly and arthritic. I'm taking advantage

I shall remember that one for when mine are

 

[geminisnake]

I find shutting the cat in the living room works for me @you both

 

[suzee blue cheese]

wake up needing a pee, down the pint, pee, refill and down another, then repeat when you wake up.

Don't fancy that meself, though I believe the practise has been popular with certain politicians down the ages...

Insomnia requires a pint of water to while away the wakeful hours. Camomile doesn't sit around long enough..

 

[danny la rouge]

Water, if I'm thirsty. (Like when I have a cold, or I've had several alcoholic beverages). Otherwise, nothing.

 

[Winkybag]

Always a big bottle of water (with a sports cap for reasons already stated, although I have no cats) i get quite thirsty in the night, even without drinking dirty booze, maybe I have the heating up too high?

 

[xes]

I got water,with sports cap. This is also good for squirting a little bit up your nose for those "dry,can't fucking breath properly" moments.

There's about 6 bottles of varying age on the windowsil. All brought home on a friday/saturday night.

I'm always doing that.

 

[futha]

glass of water, always

 

[madzone]

I have about 3 glasses of water by the bed, varying between 2 weeks and 3 months old. I only have water by the bed when I have to down shitloads of painkillers and thankfully I haven't had to do that for a couple of weeks

As for cats, they get put out at night.

They're cats.

In this weather?

*looks at wimpy London cats who are afeared of rain and the dark*

 

[wtfftw]

It's not just cats that get in the bedside beverage. Once upon a time I woke up had a bit of a drink and had to fish a spider out of my mouth.

Thats nothing, once I woke up, had a slice of banoffee pie and had to spider a FISH out of my ear

why are you complaining? it's just some free extra proteins.

 

[madzone]

No they fucking can't - that's the point

They have any amount of sheds and outbuildings they can sleep in but the point is they're cats - what did they do before houses were built? I had a cat that refused to come in whatever the weather. You'd see him curled in a ball under a bush in the pissing rain. He was fit as a fiddle till some cunt ran him over
