Have you ever fallen asleep with a drink in your hand?

I passed out on my sofa after midnight still clutching a full glass of red wine. Woke up this morning with no spills, that's a winning start to the New Year 💪 Not sure how I kept it upright for 4 hours while asleep, I can barely go 5 minutes without spilling my drink on myself while awake 🤣

No, but I have my phone, and woken when I've dropped it on my face.

When I was severely anaemic, I fell asleep holding a hot cup of tea, spilled it and scalded myself 🙄

I've took a tumble down stairs (in a club of all places!) and didn't spill my pint, back in the days when I was younger & flexible Xmas Grin

Haha I have done the wine glass trick before, didn't spill a drop, it was years ago but I'm still quite proud of myself

Oh I was in a pub in my younger years with my ex, it was rather rough to say the least. A fight broke out and someone threw the table in the air, drinks, ashtray etc flew everywhere, but I somehow managed in my slightly inebriated state to grab out pints. A few people were impressed 😆

Yes, I too fell asleep on the sofa hiding a glass of red wine. Unfortunately I spilt it all over myself and woke up.

Fell asleep holding a glass of red wine. It flicked and sent red wine all up the white wall... OH not best pleased at having to repaint the wall.

No, mine don’t usually stay full long enough for long enough for me to fall asleep. 😂

DP once fell asleep with his hand on top of a cup of tea. Once I noticed and dithered about how to solve it, he jerked himself awake (the blood pressure thing) and a full cup of tea went EVERYWHERE

I forever fall asleep on the sofa, tea in hand, and spill it over myself.

I am impressed op!

My dad is no longer allowed to drink red wine anywhere other than at the table due to one too many falling asleep incidents and a ruined sofa Grin

I need to drink more quickly!

Yes, though nothing to do with being drunk!

I often used to wake up at 5 in the morning, lights on, clutching a mirror in one hand, and in the other a cotton wool pad soaked in cleanser where I had made an attempt to clean my face before going to sleep!

I have that thing where you suddenly fall asleep (narco something) though don't get it much now.

Yes! Once holding a glass of wine in the cinema (the type of cinema with a bar) I slept through most of the film. Didn’t drop the wine.

Giggorata · 03/01/2022 10:22

Yes, a few times, not particularly drunk but knackered. Occasionally not spilt it, sometimes red wine all over me, and the worst one was dropped it on a quarry tiled floor with two dogs in the room 😳

However, my best was years ago, falling asleep drunk in a hammock nursing a pint of cider on my chest, and waking some hours later with not a drop spilt!

DoodleBelle · 03/01/2022 10:24

Haha I can do this trick too! Only ever with red wine though…bizarre

kweeble · 03/01/2022 11:33

Yes - when exhausted with a hot mug of tea - I woke up sharpish as it poured over me - luckily there was no long term damage
