I used to do that, but A) The freakin bottles were too cold to handle B) They sweated all over stuff once out for any time C) Shaking and stirring has it's place in the mixing of the drinks. It's not just about making the drink colder. That bit of water adds to the drink in a way, and shaking a Martini greatly increase the anti-oxidants in it! And it's fun. I am a stirring fan myself. I like to get that hard frost on the outside of the shaker. That's cold.
