I drink water and coffee only whenever I am sewing. I am a very big water drinker. So there is always a glass or bottle of water within reach. Even if we go into a store, I have my bottle of water in my purse.
Once I am done for the evening that is a different story. I try and relax with a small glass of red wine. But go straight to bed after.
If I ever drank while sewing my 1/4" seam which I have a hard time at anyway, would probably wonder from 1" to 1 1/2" to 1/8" and so on.
I have not learned stippling yet, but maybe I should try that after having a glass. It might not be consistent, but it would be all over the place. :) :) :thumbdown: :thumbup:

Coffee! But its often cold by the time I get to it. I am really clumsy, but so far - no major disasters!
As for alcohol - I am learning as I get older that wine is just a bad idea for me!! The reason I am writing this at 4.20am our time is because I drank too much wine last night and I just CANT Sleep when I drink alcohol anymore!!! (drink alot maybe twice a year!!!)
However - My husband used to pour me a glass of wine while I was handsewing in the evening - but I never got a round to drinking it!! too engrossed!
I have never drunk wine and then operated the machine though......
