How many of you drink in your hot tub?

[neocacher]

I am wondering how many of you drink beverages in your hot tub?  What do you drink? And where to you place the beverages?

Do you keep them in your hand or do you purchase a shelf to hold them, or place the container on the shell, on the steps or on the patio?

I have never had a beverage in my hot tub, and I want to try it!

I drink h2o in hot tubs because they cause a lot of sweating, which leads to dehydration.

I like the little sport bottles that close on top so the spray doesn't get in the drinking water. I keep it on a flat part of the tub so it doesn't fall in, then when I want to drink it I put it in my hand, when I'm done I close it back up and set it back on a flat part of the top of the tub.  

You can find good bottles at sporting goods stores, or Google for bottles online.

Some people shouldn't drink in hot-tubs.  As the old saying goes:  If you have to ask, ...

One more thing.... avoid glass bottles/glasses. If one breaks it is bad news.

Love a few beers out on a cold night.

Totally agree.  A broken wine glass in a spa is not a good thing.

Because I frequently soak in the early AM, I bring a cup of coffee in with me in a thermos type cup.  SD spas have a cupholder that fits on top of the filter compartment that works quite well.

I always have a drink with me in the tub.  Water or Cocktail, but always in a plastic glass or bottle.  The Hot Spring tubs have a place for your drink, but they are flat with the surface so there is nothing to hold the glass or bottle where you put it.  I found these nifty little devices at SpaDepot.com:

They fit right on the cup area with little suction cups.  The only problem is that they only fit a small size bottle or glass.  But they are really inexpensive and you can buy them here:

All the time.  I especially love a good cappucino during my weekend morning soaks.  I bought some really cool "plastic glasses" that are unbreakable yet look just like glass.  Got em at Bed Bath for ~$15 for a set of 4 (see below).  I usually set it on one of several flat spots around the edge of the tub or on the filter cover...

A couple years ago, during a day when the temperature was right around 0, I took a cup of coke or pepsi out with me, and I had to hold the cup partially in the hot spa water to keep if from freezing.  That was a very strange experience.

thats why you need some liquor in that drink.

A couple ICE COLD  Stella Artois and a way I go! Don't all good tubs come with cup holders?  JUST KIDDING! I generally hold on to it.

I don't drink when I soak.
