Any cheap way to keep a few cold drinks in my room that doesn't take much space? I was looking into mini fridges but they seem a waste of money, but during the night I can't go in the kitchen because my father sleeps there and opening the fridge wakes him up

Thermos?

I kinda like room temp drinks. Have you ever tried them like that?

Styrofoam ice chest like pic.

I have one but I usually drink coke, juice or milk which leave them a pain to clean and make water taste awful
>>33319714
Yeah, but my room is very hot (27c on average), and I like my drinks as cold as possible
>>33319727
That'd be nice but it'd need too much ice, also I don't want to risk any leaks

I have a cooler bag like pic that I use on long car rides that I keep in the passenger seat. I fill ziploc bags with Ice and put cans in it to keep them cold.

How long does it last usually?

>>33319820
About a day, or 2 if its not terribly hot.

I'm sold, thanks anon

Murder your father. He can't stop you from enjoying a cold one if he's dead.

>>33319812
Great suggestion anon

Another good way to keep cold in a similar way is a lunch box with an icepack inside, same concept but a bit cheaper and you probably have both in the house already :)

honestly though are we talking about laying on the floor kinda sleeping? or the theres a kinda bed in the kitchen? or the he is drunk af and or tired and crashes on the kitchen floor? we need answers anon! its pretty concerning.

Nothing that bad, it's just a two floors Uk house where the lower floor is just a big single room with both kitchen and living room where he has his own bed. No idea why he refuses to sleep in the guest room in the upper floor, though

>uk
say no more anon, sympathies. although if theres a free room available then idk why he stays in the living room.

>family sleeps in kitchen
I won't read obvious solution is obvious threads posted by idiots who can't seem to find the front door.

>>33319704 (OP)
Any of these would do.

Do you have air conditioning? Try putting them near it, from my experience though it doesn't get as cold as if you put it in the fridge but it's almost there.

Nevermind previous ideas were better.
