> Moving around in combat is far too chaotic, in my opinion, to steady yourself enough to quaff from a bottle. Ever try to drink from a bottle (or even a glass) while in a car that was moving unsteadily, turning, braking, and so on? Is it possible, without accident... yes, but extremely difficult. Now think of trying to line the bottle to your lips and pour into your mouth and swallow, without smashing it into your teeth... while jumping to dodge attacks, swinging around a sword with the other hand to parry attacks, getting your ass lit up by lightning bolts, and so on... does that really sound sensible to you?
