Whats the earliest you started drinking in the day?

Rabies

I often have my first drink at 4:30-5am after work.

Last Saturday I started work at 3pm, finished at 6am. Had a drink with the rest of the staff and then moved on to a different bar and got drunk. Pretty soon it was lunch time and time I went home before I stayed out too long.

The earliest I have ever started was 10.45 am. It was about 15 years ago, when I was still able for debauchery on such a scale, on a weekend in Cork which involved a football match between our office and our branch in London. For some reason I decided to start with a pint of Guinness, unusual as I'm not a massive Guinness drinker, but I think at that stage I thought there'd only be a couple consumed. I wasn't playing in the match, which allowed me to stand on the sideline with a pint in hand, so what followed that first pint was another 21 pints of Guinness (somebody started to keep count), with the last one consumed at 5.30am the following morning in the residents bar of our hotel. It was days before my insides sorted themselves out.

a couple of years ago i didnt bother going away for my holidays so went to the local most days so i would be starting to drink around 11

I feel like an alcoholic reading these. It seems normal for me to drink regardless of the time. We used to hang around outside the early house in San Diego cans in hand waiting for it to open at 7am. Its also impossible to go on a train/bus/plane journey with more than two people without a bag of cans.

Used to go drinking around 7 or 8 in the morning while in America because the GAA matches would be on tele around that time. Felt a bit weird leaving the pub round 2 and the sun beaming down on us and us heading home for a nap!!

Two years ago. Me and two of the lads were going to see Oasis in Marley Park. We got the early morning train from Sligo and brought a boatload of cans on with us. Can't remember what time the train leaves at. Must have been about six or seven in the morning though.

Between 6 and 6.30am in Dublin airport. Maybe 7.30am when not at an airport. Don't do it too often though.

I used to meet a mate of mine who did nights in Dublin Airport in Delany's in North King St (early house) at 7.30am. Jebus, I was usually rubber by early afternoon. Ah yes, what carefree days before I had children.

ahem ...baileys n cornflakes
yum!

AlmightyCushion

Never tried baileys in cornflakes. Tried stella in frosties though when I was drunk. It was rank.

Tried beer on cornflakes once because the place I was staying in were out if milk. Never got as far as a second spoonful.

In Ireland, loads of 10.30 starts as a student. Get a sandwich in the stables in UL, and as soon as 10.30 hits, order pints. that was the old stables though for anyone who knows UL, before it got all modern and couloury and stuff.

Aside from that probably some 8.30 starts in the US waiting for GAA matches to start.

12:30 is the earliest I can remember for a normal day, I had an interview at 3:00 that day.

But I'm guessing around 10:00 while on holidays.

6:00am one morning at the airport.

Ah, bliss.

I forgot about the flight from Heathrow to Singapore (before 9/11 and all the new sh1t). Got as much beer as I wanted on the flight and when I got to the apartment at around 11.00am, threw the bag in and went straight to the pub.

Around 5pm, I'm not much into the whole student "OMG like drinkin!" fandango.

I can't understand people smoking on a sunny day. It's a seedy activity for seedy times

When watching Ireland vs Cameroon in the 2002 world cup. I think we started drinking at around 7:30 I think.

Well I dispensed with the cornflakes and finished the beer if that helps?

That a boy. Get rid of that pointles food. It only makes it longer before you get drunk.

6:30 in the morning, but I used be an awful pisshead. The early house on Capel Street was a popular haunt of mine. I don't drink much anymore...

Started an all day house party a few years back at 4.45am in the morning! No pubs beforehand, everyone just arrived through out the early hours and the party kicked off. I was of course pissed drunk by about 8am but I lasted the whole day, and long into that night as well!
