#### Im really sick of how the smelt/grind options work with drinks

I get all ready, drink my drink and then I cant easily or quickly tell the smelter to grind 250 ore. I type in what i want, it changes to a 5, then nothing. This is stupid and needs to be fixed so it easy to use my drinks.
A few buttons would do - 1/4 - 1/2 - 1/3 - ALL, since typically I wont pull out that much stuff to smelt/grind at once, so 250 in one shot or 300 would be easy to click on and finish.
OR give us the option to choose the amount to grind and then a button to drink the drink and then GO. That would solve all the time issues with the drink - grind order of doing things.

  I have had much trouble with this, especially when I have lag. Laggy, laggy, lag!
  I had found, in the past, that I could grind, after imbibing, about 200 sparkly before using up energy. But, with lag and typing in numbers and waiting to be able to click on the grinder and actually have the menu pop up (during lag, sometimes had to click two or three times), I could only grind about 150.
  I recently was able to grind about 323 sparkly in one drink without using up energy so I assumed it was fixed.
  I have to move my grinder next to my flaming Humbaba, to save clicking time. It would also be nice if I could just keep the flaming Humbaba (and earthshakers and face-smelters) in the tool box next to the applicable tool.
  Thank you.

- Or maybe the drink only starts taking effect when you start the appropriate action. (I.e., like EHSP does for shrine donations.)

  especially when you drink a flaming humbaba and then get an error message (often "the tool doesn't have enough uses" or "you won't have enough energy once the buff wears off), wasting even more of the buff!
  I like Janitch's suggestion, would LOVE that to work.

- +1 Although Flaming Humbabas are waiting to be fixed (unless they are). I like Janitch's idea as well.

- +1 I can grind a close to 410/15 with each flaming humbaba (type or rock doesn't matter they're all around 400 or so). I keep hearing that they need to be fixed, but I havn't seen anything wrong with them.
  It would, however, be nice to get the full benefit, and not have to take time out of my buff to type in the exact number. I will typically mine until I have I have a little over 400 (or a little over 800 since the selector is set to half the total by default), that way I don't have to take the time typing in the amount.
  I also keep my grinder/smelter next to their applicable drinks. Though now with the new bag management, I'm tempted to ditch my toolboxes and replace them with bags, since I can make them "tool bags" but still have the flexibility to put other things in (like flaming humbabas, face smelters, fox bait, etc...).

- +1 Sometimes I smelt large amounts of metal and I drink the face smelter, but by the time I'm finished the buff is gone already. I would be great if we could drink it in the middle of smelting/grinding.
