Assuming you're not an alcoholic, and it's the weekend or a day off, When do you feel that it is reasonably acceptable to have your first of the day? (assuming you do of course, and you're not driving)
-
If (!!!!! ::) ::) ::)) it has been a really hot day I love a ice cold lager shandy around the early afternoon :-* :-* :-*.
On a Sunday before lunch a nice sherry goes down a treat 8-) 8-) 8-) :y :y :y
-
A good Bloody Mary around 1130hrs gets Sunday off to a very acceptable start otherwise 1230hrs for a pre-lunch drink and, depending on the company, onwards and upwards 8-) 8-) 8-) :y

The two highlighted bits of your statement BC are correct for me!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

The ice is important to modern drinking techniques. Try it. :y

In the 80's a guy I used to know worked permanent Night Shirt on the buses, from 8,pm to 6.am he took the drivers to different depots and did a taxi service to pick up the 1st round of early drivers.
At 9am when he arrived home, he enjoyed a large meal and downed a bottle of wine. 11am be trundled off to bed. He worked 7 days a week and short shifts over the weekend to get drivers to work.
Every one used to complain at him drinking at 0am.
But as he protested, his 9am was after work, like our 9pm was after work after a day or even afternoon shift.
So I think if you dont have a drink problem then the time you start is a personal choice, and hey, the pubs open for lunch. ::)
-
Mines a large tumbler full of ice, a drop of diet coke and toped up with rum please. and if lizzie is serving it then can she wear just a grass skirt. ::)

Anytime after lunch is acceptable. Some of us may have to start silly early in the morning so too late for evening drinks hence the lunchtime tipple...hic! :y

I once had a job like that. It was fun cooking my "evening" meal, drinking & playing music while your neighbours were leaving for work.
All things are relative. 8-)

I'd be a bit cold and wet at the moment if I did!! :o :o :D :D ;)

I begin with "chef`s perks": a glass of red-wine whilst preparing supper. ;)
-
Sunday morning full english, and an ice cold STELLA, around 10.00 PERFECT! :D
-
I havent voted cause my choice isnt listed....
But id say if you still in bed asleep....then it too early :D ;D
-
I'm tee total so I never touch a drop ::)
-
anytime after 10am at weekends. not till about 6pm in the week. ;)
-
all depends - i remember the first xmas me and the current mrs bannjaxx had our first xmas together (2000) now, bearing in mind it was snowing and she was returning from a long night shift at the hospital, i had this great/romantic idea to prepare a champagne breakfast: salmon, eggs benedict, caviar, toast and, of course, champagne. all went great - but she hardly touched the champagne (it was around 630-7am) and off she went to bed.
i polished off the bottle (maybe 730am) and thought about getting the xmas dinner started
hmmm- maybe a beer - after all - it is xmas, one thing led to another - to cut a long story short, by 9am i was p!$$ed as a newt, by 2pm all the veg was done but the oven had been accidently turned off (by me) so we had no idea whether the ham was cooked, whether the turkey was cooked so we binned the lot - i went to bed at around 6pm and the mrs spent the rest of the day alone!
so i'd say that probebly 630am is a tad too early :y

What would you like me to add?
-
Well this one died a death didn't it!
-
When is it too early in the day to start drinking?
Never!! ::) [smiley=evil.gif]
Seriously though, I wouldn't make a habit of drinking before lunchtime as I'm not sure I could face alcohol in the morning (unless its continuing after midight ::))
However, on special occassions I might make an exception. The last time was when I had an early holiday flight from Stansted and we hit the bar at 7am for a few Stella's. ::) ;)

I'm a total pisshead so I never touch a drop of water::)

Are you going to Newent Bob?
Not 100% sure yet Pete. Newent is only a few weeks before I go on holiday for 2 weeks so need to work out if I can afford it - costs me a fortune in beer every time I meet up with you!! ::) ;D ;D

i never have a drink before 10am if its a weekend but would never drink before 1pm in the week. have been known to do 3 days solid sessions, but very rare now.
a man i worked with last year drinks 24 cans of boddingtons every night after work, without fail.
