With anti-siphon/vacuum breaker, turning the water off results in the "shower." This is normal and not a problem except you will likely get a little wet. Once the water is turned off there is no need to drain the hose. There will still be water in the hose but no pressure.
To avoid the "shower" you can hold the hose nozzle open while turning off the water as was described in post #2. Because the nozzle is open there will be no pressure in the hose. Because there is no pressure in the hose there is no water pushing back against the vacuum breaker. Because there is no water pushing back against the vacuum breaker there is nothing to spray out and cause the "shower."
