The clicking is the pump feeding fuel to the carbs that slightly drains when left standing for a few hours or overnight. The longer the bike is left the more fuel will be needed before start up, so you'll hear more clicking.
If you drained the bowls it probably sounded like a rattle snake when turning the ignition back on 'cos they were empty!
It won't click again straight away because the carb bowls are already full of petrol.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
