#5A friend once said “There’s all these studies about how bad sitting is for you. Now there are even studies about how bad standing desks are for you. Nobody ever says anything bad about laying down so I just try to do that as much as possible.”
I still laugh. Perhaps true in part though.

#6When I was having RSI and back issues from so much sitting in my life, my research pointed me at 0g workstations very much in similar configuration to this combined with split keyboard and thumb trackballs, I came close to ordering one which would have set me back $2500 USD or more. Luckily, I managed to avoid having to go full WALL-E with massage and excercise.

If you drink fast enough, I don't see any problem.

The worst potential consequence of laying down is that your back muscles would become weaker. This is one of the reasons why sitting harms your back, and with laying down it would be even worse. Unless it's combined with some exercise it could be a really bad idea.
