Late night observation beverages - a poll

[mill (Martin)]

Ok where is the best option in the poll??
I drink whisky, keeps you warm, happy and tastes better than coffee

[Glenhuon (Bill)]

Mill, you beat me to it.
Was going to ask why the good stuff was not included
Apart from that a cup of black coffee with a shot of black navy rum is great on cold nights.

Hi,

Looks to me like a lot of us have found ascohol and altronomy don't mix well.

This has been my experience on a few occasions now, after leaving things outside and almost dropping an EP etc.

I now try to keep them apart, as much as my weak nature allows anyhow.

Cheers

Whisky is the only alcoholic drink that doesn't make me drunk or give a headache as long as it is the good stuff

Coke!!!

During a good nights observing 3-5 cans maybe along the way, with one or 2 stops inside for a Milo, a few bickies, and a chat. I only ever have Milo made with cold milk, can't stand it hot or even warm.

[Outbackmanyep]

Coke, Milo, and Tea.....and a bit of loud music helps!

[dugnsuz (Doug)]

Coffee and a couple of bits of chocolate - I heard the combo's supposed to open up the pupils...don't know if that's gospel, but it's a nice way to start a session!

Especially on chilly nights I find a port or two and a good dose of Led Zepplin keeps me focussed (so as to speak).

It also ensures I sleep well when I eventually crawl into bed.

Wild Turkey & diet coke, helps me keep my girlish figure

[§AB]

Hoy Chocolate, Hot Chocolate, Hot Chocolate!

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Interestingly, no-one drinks bottled spring water, Bonox or plain milk. The former I can understand, but no Bonox people?????

[Ric]

Drink Bonox , now that's scary.

[fringe_dweller]

Farmers Union classic chocolate drink if not near a kettle at the time, used to make thermo's, too lazy now, the new stronger farmers union iced coffee is good for staying awake, and good old coke cola - and spring water lots of it, same as you - starting too like the red bulls and the other one?

eeeeww, that sounds like a real mix in that gut of yours

I was a bit of a beer drinking observer, but it interfares with the night vision
and the ability to observe things at the limit of your eye sight. I actually
avoid alcohol on observing days now. The other thing was once the beer had
started to take efect and you get the old wobble going, I would on
a couple of occassions get a black eye off my U/O HD's

a nice smoke works best for me

I love beer and goon or is it goon and beer? never can remember which. Better than both is munching on hedgehogs yum yum.
