Do you have a time frame of when its suitable to drink alcohol?

Downlinz

I'm hearing a lot of people talking about watching the rugby world cup games early in the morning and having a few beers with it and the very idea turns my stomach. :pac:

Can't imagine its pleasant getting drunk in the morning and having to deal with the comedown low later in the day as it wears off, I'm usually asleep for that part.

Any time between Sunday Morning and Saturday night.

As soon as I can get one really.

The only time i'd drink in the morning is if i was still going from the night before, which sadly hasnt happened in a while,

wait actually, i was caught comming home at 8am just last week, how'd i forget that?



edit: im actually still up from last night, but ran out of cans around half 5

Waking hours.

I never drank during the day until I lived in the US and Ireland games were on in the afternoon their time. Now I love it (when I get the chance)! There's something mischievous about it...

Fratton Fred

As soon as the sun is over the yard arm.

At 8am its over the yard arm in New Zealand, so game on as far as I'm concerned.

stargazer 68

After 12 noon - although its always after 12 somewhere!! :D

Useful.Idiot

Drinking early in the day has to be the greatest thing ever.

Orando Broom

Evening time, after my dinner, that is optimum.

Kev_ps3

usually around 7pm

LeeHoffmann

my only rule is no more than 1 if you're on your own. After that, anything goes.

The first beer is a bit funny and it's strange that the day gets brighter the drunker you get (usually the other way around) but these are the sacrifices dedicated rugby fans must make. It's a hard life

FatherLen

all day sessions are the best. i love them. woooooh!!!

Churchill was usually pissed by lunchtime....and he won the war. So as a loyal West Brit I follow his example. Thats my excuse.

I did that last Saturday night, kept on trucking through the rugby Sunday morning...never again...getting too old for that shìt.

Even if it's a drinking occasion, like a stag, then there's no drinking allowed before breakfast. Typically the earliest I'll allow myself is lunchtime.

Otherwise normal times, 6pm is the cutoff.

LeeHoffmann

not sure if this counts as blasphemy here, but you don't always have to get p1ssed when you drink. A couple of beers won't do any harm

Time: Thursday 7am
Place: Bar, Birmingham Airport
Event: 2 English blokes wolfing into their pitchers.
Verdict: Wrong.

Wrong.

What if they were trying to avoid a massive hangover? I'd rather be merry on a plane than be hungover and sick.

LeeHoffmann

wolfing into their pitchers

:eek: Hardcore

biko

After a big lunch would be my earliest, so 3pm.

Azureus

My old rule used to be when its dark I can drink-it made winter a wonderful time

Then I discovered the joys of boozy lunches and its anytime from midday.

Or anytime at all on holidays, usually a few in the morning as a curer and spritzers throughout the day, cocktails at night. I want a holiday.

Don't see how it is much different than heading to the pub around 1 or 2 AM and staying out drinking until 6 or 7 AM. Nothing wrong with going out and enjoying a few beers while watching the game. I'll be heading to the pub early Saturday for a few of the games, will grab a brekkie & beers, and then continue my Saturday as normal.

Maybe a more interesting question is would anyone eat a kebab before nightfall?

Pretty much any airport bar you will see a few people drinking at this time : people still in a different time zone, jet lag or whatever.

Dyr

If the big hand is pointing at something and the little hand is moving, then its probably okay to have a drink

FloatingVoter

When our livers pack in, the doctor is unlikely to say "Its because you were drinking at the wrong time of the day".

Sky King

I remember being on a camping holiday in france last year.... we used to get up each morning and sit around in our deck chairs waiting until 'beer o clock' (noon) at which point lashing into the warm kronenbourgs in the back of the van was socially acceptable.

So yeah. Noon by our defacto standard.

PhilTorres

Love during the day drinking can't bate it!! Was staying with my Uncle in California for a while and he works nights so he used to arrive in at 10/11am and have a couple of cans..It would have been rude not to join him!

Absolutely, I often have a kebab for lunch or after work on the way home.

Sofiztikated

Whenever I feel like a drink, it's the right time for a drink.

If I want to go to an early house, or have a can with my bacon an' saustidges, I will.

If I don't fancy a drink, I won't drink. Simple.

The Master of Disaster

It would have to be afternoon for me, preferably evening. I just one of those people who can't stomach alcohol in the morning.

DWCommuter

I have great memories of the 2002 Soccer WC. Ireland kicked off against the Cameroon at 7.30am. The pub was packed. I had the breakfast and then started lashing into the pints. It was a joy to be dancing merrily outside after the game and while a lot of people were only starting their day. Stayed on the pints til lunchtime. Then tucked into a mighty roast beef dinner. After that it was onto a train to Carlow for the Dubs in the 1st round of the championship Vs Wexford. I traded cigs for cans on the train and then hit a boozer close to the ground for pre match pints. After the game it was back on the train to the pub it all started in that morning! I finished drinking at about 11.30pm, grabbed a curry and headed home.

It was truly a day when the drinking time frame was no holes barred.

PS. I was absolutely scuttered.

LeeHoffmann

I am reminded of this and this

df1985

exceptions are sporting events and when its 5am in the airport and youre off on holidays.

MitchKoobski

But...if you continously drink through the night until 7am/8am, is it considered drinking in the morning or still drinking through the night?

OneArt

You all talk like vodka isn't a morning drink!

It's an any time drink.

And anyway the rugby world cup is in New Zealand and it would be evening there when the games start so technically it's not really morning time drinking

sbsquarepants

I've always loved breakfast beers, the best part of the weekend/holidays if you ask me. I just don't get this whole it's too early for a beer thing! Why just alcohol, why is it never too early for tea? Or bananas? It's just made up bullshít.
If you want a beer have a beer, it doesn't matter what time it is - so long as you don't have to drive/work/look after kids and so on - drink away, you'll be a long time thirsty when you're dead;)

ScumLord

From now on it's going to be weddings, funerals, birthdays and Christmas. Basically events where I want an excuse to be obnoxious, which I will be as my tolerance for drink is gone.

No he didn't, he merely played a bit part. The Russians and the Americans won the war ffs.

The Scientician

As much of a pisshead as I undoubtedly am, I never feel like drinking before about 7pm unless it's a waking up in the morning in some strange gaff that has booze and I've nowt to do situation. Drinking during the day makes me feel manky generally, and not in a good way. Also, as pissheadular as I am, I try to work for a living.

Pretty much follow a simple rule, I'll only allow myself drink on two occasions. When I'm thirsty and when I'm not.

DjFlin

As a college student, I can honestly say, I've no problem drinking at any time of the day. 6 hours of lectures ahead of me? Gonna need some courage to get through em.

Leeg17

Am I still awake? Then it's time to drink... *hic*

The Scientician

I'll drink to that.
