    I don't keep my drink next to my machine. I have my sewing area set up in a U shape with SM in the middle. My drink sits on my right hand table, along with all my supplies.

    I have a soda or water by my sewing desk most of the time, but they usually get warm as I'm so wrapped up in my quilting I forget to drink! Maybe for some,wine would go down quicker...but I don't even drink wine! :)

    Not during the day..But sometimes in the evening a glass of wine makes it so much fun. I have a group of other quilter friends that we get together to quilt and drink wine. Have lots of fun.

    Always have my caffeine free diet coke with me. But I am one of the few, it appears, that does have a glass of white wine while I'm sewing. They generally last a long time though because I'm too into what I'm working on. Like everyone else, I keep my drink on a different table than my machines or computer.

    I too have a bookcase (small) next to my sewing table. I drink iced tea when I sew, with lots of ice! But I use one of those tallish cups kids use. They are double-layered plastic, and have a lid with a bent plastic straw sticking up out of the top. I originally bought these for my small grandkids, but soon realized they'd work for me too. I have knocked mine over numbers of times and nothing happened. No spills. That's what I needed because I've always been an accident just looking for a place to happen. I wouldn't be opposed to having a nice glass of white wine, but I would hate to be drinking it out of a straw!

    I am a home-brewed sweet-tea-aholic... southern style. It goes where I go but it does not set near my fabric or Elna.

    Myquilting buds have suggested a glass of wine before fmq to relax the hands but it didn't work for me. LOL

    I always have water, or green tea or diet pop, and I put it FAR away from where I am sewing.
