Title: How many of you drink in your hot tub?
Post by: neocacher on December 19, 2006, 12:51:53 pm
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.  ::)

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:
(http://[IMG]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q37/richs10/ac1020f.jpg)[/img]

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.

In the morning I like to have a starbucks mug beside me with Home brew java inside. Leave it in cupholder usually. At night it becomes a non-alcholic beer. Some days I just have water.

Actually, I think I had something going on that day that I didn't want to imbibe.

I love to drink beer anytime, a hot tub is no excuse not to drink.

Not for beginers though.

I found wine glasses made out of lexan (very tough) at Dicks Sorting Goods Store. The stem unscrews so backpackers can carry them.

We have a HS tub with several "flat spots":  they work out just fine for small spring water bottles.  The only thing we have ever had to drink in the hot tub is water.   We buy them by the case and it works out fine.  My wife and I each slip one in the pocket of our robes as we go out the back door to the tub....

I didnt know coffee turned into beer if you left it by the tub all day. ;D

Yeah but it's non-alcohol beer. I think I'd rather have coffee!

I pretty much drink all the time, tho I am trying to cut down during the week.  ;)

I put the drink on the flat filter compartment cover, because when I use the built in holders, I tend to knock my drink over with my elbows.  Especially after I've had a few.

Plastic cups for mixed drinks, or the can for beer. (I drink Bud)

I've been trying to figure out - if I plug the blender into a GFI outlet, um, is this okay? You know, really fresh banana daquiris would add to the general healthy concept of hot tubbing, what with the potassium thing and all.

Trixie drinks PURPLE PASSION in the spa out of a floating punch bowl.
You can find floating drink holders at a pool supply.

Yup.  Last night before bed, I was out there soaking in the starlight with a paper cup filled with Cabernet.

A paper frigin cup of wine.  Maybe there is something wrong with me  :-X

gotta getcha that boxed wine that's tapped from the foil-y bag.....  ;D
We haven't done much drinking in the tub...couple times the hubby brought a BIG bottle of Asti out (no glasses, just the bottle  ::) ), once or twice a couple cans of beer or soda....they don't change into anything other than warm and icky if they're left by the tub, though.
The Grandee has cup holders molded into the top of the shell. No, they're not a terribly snug fit, but if you're not flailing around having hot monkey love, they'll hold a beverage just fine....the large wine bottles, however, wind up on the filter compartment cover or the steps next to the tub.

I usually have something cold to drink, as it contrasts the hot water so well, but it is more often ice tea than anything alcoholic. I like a cold nice lambic beer or riesling-type wine in the tub, though......

Coffee in the A.M.  Bought one of those coffee makers that have the stainless thermal carafe.  Take it out with the creamer and stainelss thermal cups.  Keeps it all toasty warm.  

Night is usually a "glass" of wine for the wifey or a beer for me...no glass...lexan type stuff.  

On RHTUBS, I just saw a redwood folding shelf that looks awesome.  I have a side I could use that on.   :D
