I Drank My Beer
-
It started out last night, and I posted about it here: Help, I Can't Drink My Beer[^] Last night, I wasn't able to stay awake. I was nodding off because I was holding an empty glass. In an effort to stay awake, I tried again. I poured beer into my glass and held the glass of beer in my hand. That way I would have to focus on not spilling the beer. If I'm focused, I can't nod off. If I can't nod off, then I can code. Then I drink all the beer in the glass again. If you don't succeed, try, try again. :thumbsup:

The ROTC students at my school used the technique of holding their foot a few inches off the floor. If you fall asleep, your foot drops and you wake up. …and no chance of spilling your beer! Their student leaders would force them to march/run all night and then require them to attend all classes.

Have you considered trying this with coffee? :java:

I'd rather think the code written under those conditions would not be the greatest. :~

You're exactly right! I experiment and break things on my current project if I've had a beer. This actually leads to new discoveries. It's sort of like how Penicillin was invented.

I hadn't thought of that...
NO, you did not seriously consider that... :-D Just a laughs...
