Favourite drinking time

What's your favourite drinking time???

morning drinker
Day drinker
Night drinker
Both

Prefer night time drinking as it's a bit more livelier but do like the odd day time drink esp if it's a match or concert day. Sometimes if I drank too early I'd get tired at around 7pm, paddys days can be quite long

Reputable Rog

Saturday evening between 5 and 8.

I don't like drinking during the day unless I'm on a stag, a wedding or a festival maybe and everyone else is drinking - I find it so depressing to be in a dark pub for a few hours during the day and then exit into the bright daylight at 4 or 5 pm, half-cut while the world moves on around you.

Favourite time is any night during the Christmas holidays when everyone is on the same wavelength and you can afford to just suffer the hangover without worry!

10pm -2am I over-dose if I start too early

Don't have a favourite but I know my worst is waking up the next morning and realising that you are so bad that you need another drink straight away.

This will be happening on an upcoming stag and I'm taking the Mon and Tues off(flying home Sunday night)

Ipso

Some time between 12:01 am on a sunday and 11:59pm on a Saturday.

I hate getting drunk during the day and then starting to sober up/get a hangover and feeling really tired. I prefer to drink at night, also because the earlier I start the more sh1tfaced I get.

8.30am. Cornflakes swimming in a Bloody Mary and vodka in the OJ helps me face the clients with a smile.

I'm a mourning drinker.

Only at wakes and funerals.

sunday.... after mass........





only joking, i dont go to mass

blue note

Drinking tends to make me tired if I stop, so I generally don't like drinking during the day. I go to a few GAA matches in Thurles and see a lot of people in the pubs for them, but if I have a pint before the games I'll start to get sleepy during it. The odd time I'll have an afternoon pint - maybe meeting a friend in town on a Sunday or something, but generally 9pm is a good time to start.

I also like to finish earlier than before. Midnight would be a long enough night now if I started at 9.

Always have a bottle or 2 in the quietness of home before I head out

Some lads who go to GAA matches are out of it by 1pm and how they knw what's going on in the match is beyond me

Night time. Saturday night would be my fav if I am going out.

Saturday afternoon watching the footie and the horses, although usually means I'm in bed by 9pm

I don't drink.

Used to be early morning after the night before but I've copped on since

JollyBustard

A few day drinks turning into night drinks is the ideal!

Thread reminds me of that 'where do you drink these days?' question you get asked when you bump into a dumpall you haven't seen in years. As if 'drinking' is a hobby.

My answer? When I'm thirsty.

Sunday afternoon Pints and a couple of bets on the Horses is hard to beat for me

That's the one for me. Saturday afternoon in town, few pints, Jeff Stelling on in one corner and a live match in the other. Ideally with the rain hammering down outside.

Amateur.

You'd be better off watching "Away in a Home"

A lot of day drinking will happen if we qualify for the world cup next summer in Russia. Afaik there will be a lot of early games

Being drunk in the middle of the day is an odd experience

A very odd experience. Very very seldom have I done it. Someone else on the thread mentioned having a few drinks in a dark bar during the day and then stepping out into the daylight. I've done that and its freaky. I've one particular memory of being jarred in the morning. It was the 2002 WC after the ROI v Cameroon match which kicked off around 7am Irish time. Some pubs opened with a secret knock. (in Dublin anyway) I kept going at it with a break for a big feed and then down to Carlow on the train for the Dubs in the first round of the championship. Got back to my local that night and it was empty and it was a Saturday night. I reckon I drank myseld sober that day.:D

For the record no particular interest in daytime drinking outside of a really big sporting event. No interest in late night drinking either. Prefer to keep it between 6pm and 10pm if circumstances permit.

Friday night, kids in bed, match or move on the TV. 3 crafties is heaven. I can never understand lads getting smashed watching premiership/World cups/GAA etc.. I enjoy a match with a pint but going all out (not even watching the match) is strange to me

I remember it very well. That match in Carlow was a shambles. Half the crowd were plastered I'd have no interest in doing it now but at the time it was great.

I like daytime drinking as long as it's steady going. Happy to go till whatever time the craic lasts so at a wedding could be 5am...I metabolise it quite fast so can drink quite a lot as long as I don't stop... If I stop it's bed time!

Love the gargle.

Day or night

I often grab a 1.50 Bottle of Staropramen or Budvar and sit on the steps in the evening in the summer.

Much prefer drinking on the street/park/by the river than drinking in a bar/club.

After 1PM is fine, any earlier is a bit too early.

I'm not a regular drinker as it interferes with some of the medication I'm on but when I do drink, my fave times are:

Having some prosecco or some strangely named cocktails with my sister at brunch

The Friday afternoon/early evening of Electric Picnic, not the first few drinks because they're usually rushed or interrupted by arrivals and organising this and that, but that point of the afternoon/early evening when the whole group is together for the first time since the year before and everyone is chatting the heads of themselves and we're all seeing who is going to what and then we head off for the first bit of grub, usually Saba

The Sunday afternoon of Electric Picnic, for some reason, the weather is usually pretty decent at this point of the weekend, lying in front of the main stage, listening to some reggae, getting mentally prepared for the day and night ahead, feeling happy about the prospect of going home to your shower and bed the following day but also knowing you have to make the most of the day because it'll be a year before you do it again

Christmas Day evening, I absolutely love cooking Christmas dinner but I love in the evening, after we have eaten, and we're all as full as eggs, sitting having a few drinks, maybe having a little snooze while watching some Christmas special or a film, and it's the most Christmassy feeling part of the whole thing for me
