I learned today that you cannot lay a glass of water on its side without some of the water running out. But if you are quick enough you can rescue most of the water and retain it in the glass by grabbing it and rerurning it to its former upright position.
This is useful knowledge to have if you are sitting in a tavern with a glass of beer in front of you and through an error in judgement you chance to lay the glass of beer on it's side. Beer and water seem to have similar consistencies thus a quick response should enable you to rescue most of the beer. However the element of quickness reduces in a direct relationship to the quanity of beer you have already consumed.

I wonder how caffeine fits into this puzzle? If you're drinking a nice hot Americano does the caffeine help with your reaction time or would it only help at the end when you're less likely to spill your coffee?
Coffee, with any consistancy at all would not spill immediately. Like Shady Lawn Coffee. If one drinks beverages such as church coffee however, there would be no value attached to rescuing it anyway.
