Since my last update I went in and played three of my other households on the island and the problem only occurred in one. As far as making a drink and leaving it.
The husband made this one and then went to bed before I could catch him for a picture. His wife did walk in and distract him, and he went and sat by the pool to talk to her. There really needs to be something in place so that if they make a drink, they will grab it and start drinking it and drink it while they are doing something else if possible or finish it and then go do whatever distracted them.
The wife made it and then walked off here. Nobody distracted her so no reason she should not have drank her drink.
The problem is much, much, much worse in the first household I listed. All of the households share the art lover trait, and many have music lover as well, but not all. The first household has also shared the muser trait, so everyone has that. Many also have the creative trait, though not everyone. All of them are level 10 mixologists with certificates (because they can't rely on bartenders to serve them at venues or hired ones at home). The first household inspire each other a lot when talking and also just very inspired by painting and listening to music. They don't cook unless I make them as they have no need for food. They are the only household that are vampires at the moment too. They do have career reward items in their main painting area that have inspired auras enabled. Figured I would mention this since they tend to go make drinks much more frequently when they are inspired. That is not what I have a problem with. They like their drinks, so be it. I guess I should have worded the title better. The problem is that they don't drink them after making them. This has not always been an issue, or I would have complained about it before now.
