an easy answer to this problem is to hang a shelf on the wall a little lower than the top of your couch. use good sturdy L brackets and little screws from underneath, since guests may put a heavy drink on one end and tipping would be a disaster. Paint the shelf the same color as your wall, but put a sealer over top to avoid drink rings. Or just make people drink outdoors to avoid the whole mess :).

Really these are available at thrift shops for so little. Less than it would cost to make them.
Unless you are a finish carpenter, you could find one better than you could make. Think of a bookcase too.
There are many projects on Hometalk. Here's one that immediately came to mind:
