A very good point. I usually use a closed container for my drinkables, and if not, they are placed well above the level of work/chemicals.

I'm too clumsy to have liquids around things I am building.  I did have some peanuts in the shell around Christmas.

 I may get so drunk, I have to crawl home. But dammit, I'll crawl like a Marine.

I like to have a mug of coffee on the go when I'm building, in the evenings I might have a beer.

I never eat but usually drink a beer. It makes losing all those little parts less stressful. Banged Head [banghead]

Nothing.  Usually when I start building I get pretty absorbed in what I'm doing.

There have been times when I've built something that had several sub assemblies and have gone an entire day without eating.

 

Though you wouldn't know it from seeing me.....I make up for it during the times I'm not working on something Blush [:I]

I usually drink Coke. I'll some times have chips or peanuts; while munching some times I'll just sit and look at my completed builds or in progress ones and ponder, day dream, admire, my work or go back over in my mind things I could have improved or think of new ideas.

I usually have a hot cup of coffee, tea or just water always on hand. I have one of those little cup warmers which also gets used to heat the dish I use for decaling.

I used to like to drink Guinness while modeling but started putting Corsair props on Starfighters! Propeller [8-] Whistling [:-^] Seriously, I usually have some coffee &/or water nearby. Maybe some jerky but got to cut back on that stuff - starting to accumulate in the midsection! Confused [%-)]

Usually either water or Iced tea.  Those are generally my preferred drinks other than Pepsi.  I usually keep a small stash of Little Debbie snacks in the model room to munch on.

Styrene, filler putty, photoetch, resin, paint, solvent, CA…whatever is lying around…Laugh [(-D]Yuck [yuck]

Seriously, usually either tea or diluted cranberry juice—by the gallon.

I don't eat while building—bad for the model and me.

C-plus Orange pop or Coke Zero, with a bowl of pretzels nearby. Nothing I can transfer from my fingers to my model. Big Smile [:D]
