Soda-ish

I like drinking carbonated beverages, but I don't enjoy the super sugary-ness of them. I'm also not hip to the diet sodas either. I find them to be disgusting. One cool thing I started doing was juicing fruit myself and making blended juices and then carbonating them. My favorite blend is white grape with lime. I don't have a Sodastream machine, as pictured, but I'm thinking of picking one up.

Tips for drunks!

Here's a quick one. I have learned this from the harsh mistress known as experience. If you're going to engage in a night of binge drinking, I'd recommend drinking a big glass of water before bed. However, I have found that it's difficult to remember to get a glass of water, or really to even care about it once I hit the bed.

If you're going to be drinking heavily, place a large glass of water on your nightstand or nearby BEFORE you start drinking. Tomorrow you will thank yesterday you.

Keep the cold things cold!

I learned this from a friend years ago. In the winter time in my area it gets pretty cold. My friend would take whole gallon jugs of iced tea and suspend them outside his house through a window. I like to keep my beer cold by putting it outside my window but inside the storm window.

This keeps my beer ice cold, saves a little energy and a trip to the fridge to get a drink!

Bed-compatible cup-holder

I enjoy drinking tea and coffee. I do most of my internetting from the comfort of my bed, but I lack a nightstand to hold my coffee cup. This is a simple tip I learned for holding my coffee cup in the absence of a stable surface or a cup holder. Simply remove the plastic wrap from an empty tissue box and use the box to hold your cup! It creates a large footprint around the cup making it very stable.
