How early is too early to start drinking?

idunnoshur

Well today I was in college from 9 'til 2, as it's a Thursday and I only have one lecture tomorrow, I decided to have a lash of cans with the lads. I arrived home (langers) at half 6 and the parents are having a fit saying that I shouldn't be drinking until at least 8 o'clock in the evening.

So I ask you all as I'm cowering away in my bedroom: "How early is too early to start drinking?"

Usually when its bright, I don.t know why but I can never drink when it is bright outside, even at weddings.

Damokc

No time if you've nothing to do.

Before the age of 12 is usually regarded as too early.

But, but, but what about the beer garden of a warm summers evening?!

I remember creating a thread on here called "whats the latest you've ever started drinking?" ... only to met with such asshole posts 'what defines late :rolleyes:' .. etc. ... losers! :pac:

But as for whats too early? ... drinking in the morning pretty much. Say you get up at 10am and by 11am you're getting locked? yeah, thats bad.

People have this hangup about drinking during the day in this country. I'll start at anytime I want to, there is no such thing as it being 'Too Early'.

I drink lemonade. I know its weird and I don't understand it myself, but I just don't like the taste of beer when its bright out.

So your still living with your parents !

If you want to feel free to get pissed any time of the day that you like ,then you need your own place , its too early to do that when your still living with your parents.

Their house , their rules , and you will always be a child to them!

At least you will get a great drink sleep tonight! I always sleep like a baby after a few!:D

I don't have any set time to be honest. If it's a Saturday and I have nothing to do and nowhere I need to be, I'd normally start early afternoon and continue for the day. It's about your own tolerance really and how long it takes you to get smashed.

Does it count if you're still drinking from the night before?

Agricola

Yeah 12 noon feels right. Heading for a pint at 12.10, grand. Heading for one at 11.45......fúckin alco!

you wouldn't have survived too long in ITT during the early 00's. last lecture on a firday was done by 1pm, straight to Fables (iirc), it was like a daytime nightclub for bum students, all dark inside, strobe lighting and such. Bamboozled by 6 and blinded by the sun, yet trying to act sober on the bus home whilst masterfully avoiding getting chip grease all over your face - ah, them's were the days

As for the OP, it depends on the occasion

Why the hell did you go home OP? If you start drinking stay out for the day/night. Make a proper session out of it!

It was beer so it was fine

If it was Brandy I would say no, that's an evening time drink just for example.

If a match kicks off at 12:00Pm i'll head to pub around 11:30 and start then

Ferris_Bueller

If I was in college and heading out that night, maybe start around 5/5:30, hate starting too late and then feeling as if your in a rush.

Although a beer for breakfast CAN be nice ....

If I drink before say 3 or 4pm I refer to it as being European. I'm classy and what not.

The first time I was in France I saw all these people having wine and beer in an outside cafe at 11am-ish. European.

Seriously though, drink as much as you can now when you are in college because when you get a real job they don't let you saunter around half cut :mad:

Back in the day anytime could be drinking time,no no limits

boomkatalog

I've started drinking at 6 in the morning before. Worked out pretty well, I was sober by dinner time no hangover either for a change.

I don't know why the time of day matters but I suppose I'd be scandalized by people falling around drunk in daylight too

Never to early to start drinkin. You only lasted a few hours u lightweight. Do more training.
I was in digs in first year back in 1996 until Xmas. Thats worse than living with your parents. Enjoy the hangover or have a cure.

InkSlinger67

Earliest I've started is 12pm. I've had chances to kick off at 9am and didn't take them but it is something I plan to do in the near future.

Who said I was stopped lad?

I think the more important question is
How late is too late to start drinking? maybe 4 a.m? too late?

Well, I say have a drink whenever........... think it was more the behaviour that pissed your folks off OP.

hairyslug

We used to go around to our local at around 10 when the barman ws doing a bit of cleaning and getting ready to open up, by the afternoon they would be plying us with free sambos to keep us drinking, then by 6, the takeaway (midnight express) would be open and we would take it in turn to go and get food, then off to the temple or the palace ****faced and arrive back to the flat at around 3 the next morning

Tell your parents its after 8pm SOMEWHERE in the world!!

Nah. If you don't sleep it doesn't count.

billybudd

If you have to ask then anytime is too early.

Kev.OC

I remember going on holidays a few years ago with family, myself and my uncle had one in the airport at 5 in the morning. I was only up about an hour. That felt weird. Perfectly fine to have a few sociable ones from lunch-time (1-ish) onwards in my opinion.

johnny_cash

It's never too early to go drinking, luckily our local pub open at 9'0 clock every morning

BadGirl

very rarely drink before 9pm.... unless it's some sort of an occasion..
