Drain it (that means remove and reinstall the plug) and be done.
I have the same question as you. A lot of folks advocate putting the plug in finger tight. After winterizing (air compressor method) I always use thread tape on the water heater plug and re-install.
Me too. That way I can't forget it, and it is ready to go in the spring. 14 years doing it, and no problems
