    For those wondering, Halcyon is a benzo like Xanax and likely the only reason this guy had any chance at slumber.

    Also, everyone should try hot tub champagne at least once, or it’s low rent cousin the shower beer. Something about a cold bubbly beverage in a hot steamy environment enhances both pleasure.

      Sort of related but I’ve always wanted to rent a chalet at a ski resort with an outdoor hot tub so I can be outside in the freezing cold, while sitting in a hot tub, whole sipping a cold beer.

      It’s like giving a middle finger to thermodynamics itself.

        I went to a hot spring in Colorado that was like this. The steamy water flowed out of the side of a hill and trickled down to numerous pools at various temperatures. There was snow everywhere and an absolutely frigid creek right next to the hot spring pools. Steam rose from the piping hot water obscuring anything more than 10 feet away. Clothing optional after dark. Beers stayed cold because the air was below freezing.

        Getting used to the hot spring temperature, going for a quick dip in the below freezing creek water, then back to the hot spring, was quite an experience. I don’t think my nerves could handle the violent change in temperature. When you’d switch either way it was like getting simultaneous burned and frozen with hot ice for a few moments until your nerves could catch up to reality.
