Hibernate does not drain battery.

You can do anything then if the laptop is plugged in, because in most cases the battery will charge while it is on anyway.

Well, the overheating part is what you need to consider. Leaving it on draining power while being charge is fine. It depends on how the system is configured and built to produce a cerntain amount of heat and the system fans being able to release and cool off the machine.

Hibernation requires no power. It just allocates some of your memory to remember your last system state right before it hibernated. Occassionally, it is good to do a full shut down once in a while.
