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...

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

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

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

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

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

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.
