I don't see a problem with this.

They'll last longer and better if you don't drain them.  I, um, well I've gotten distracted and after soaking beans, I've realized that I can't cook them very soon, so I rinse them, and put in fresh water and plop them in the frig, and a couple times I've left them for 4 or 5 days.  I did that once with drained beans and they got slimy on the bottom, but the ones covered with water were perfectly fine.

Oh sure you can, I change the water before cooking them.
