How early is too early for a drink?
As I sit here drinking a nice whiskey at 9.40am I was just wondering what time you all think is too early for a drink?
|
Re: How early is too early for a drink?
depends if you have been to bed.. if you havent then its still yesterday so its fine lol....drinking on your own is more worrying.

When i used to work the night shift there was a pub that got a special licence to open at 7 am so we could go for a pint after work

Re: How early is too early for a drink?

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
Doesn't it have something to do with the sun and the yard arm?

Pretend you are Candian, and you can do it five hours earlier:rolleyes::D |
Re: How early is too early for a drink?
I have one at 7am when I've been on nights. having one when you get out of bed is too early not one before you go to bed :-)

The most useful aspect of worldwide time zones is that it's always happy hour somewhere... :)

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
yep, depends on your shift. 9:40 am when you've just finished work is like 5pm to traditional 9-5ers.
Fill your boots mate |

9.40am is fine. As the great Jimmy Buffett said, it's five o'clock somewhere :D

9.30am ..... go for it !!!!!:cheers::mosher::D |
Re: How early is too early for a drink?
As a non drinker I think its always too soon for a drink of any alcohol. Don't see the point in it myself. Why alter your state of concienceness?

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
I love a little drink after a night shift, usually about 9am. A small glass of something just to put me to sleep. Failing that, a draught of Night Nurse does the trick too..:D

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
I'm sure some of teh blokes on here would love a Night Nurse to put them to bed :D

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
have never really enjoyed drinking in 'daylight hours' , bit like coming out of the cinema and its still daylight , just doesnt seem right, but thats just me .;)
If someone is working graveyard shift (nights) I dont think there is anything wrong with it , providing any kids in the house are off to school , the idea of kids eating their cornflakes whilst Dad/Mum are chug-a-lugging a beer is a bit out of line to my mind :eek: |

I can see the point of drinking at that time of day if you are on lates although 9 - 5 people will be a little confused. My old Grand dad always sucked a Fisherman's Friend before he went to bed and he lived to a ripe old age.

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
I wondered why people were staring at me at half seven in the morning while out with the dogs and a can of ale in my hand

The joy of night shifts eh, aren't they great :rolleyes:
I can be nearly falling asleep on my feet when ready for clocking out, get in the car and thats it - your wide awake, once in bed I usually fall asleep straight away but usually wake up after about an hour then can't get back to sleep |
Re: How early is too early for a drink?
Ian's grandma was landlady at the Globe for many years, she used to open for the lads coming off night duty at the pit to get a dram before going home. Can't see a problem with it myself.

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
You old soak. :p:D
Only joking. As you had just finished a night shift, I agree it is just like someone who works days having a drink at 7pm. If you were on days, got up in the morning and started on the whisky I would recommend you for the Betty Ford clinic. :D |

I know an ambulance driver who works shifts and he uses Melatonin tablets - a more natural way of getting refreshing sleep
What is Melatonin? |

That's my problem too, it's a bummer. It doesn't happen every day, usually just after my first night on duty, makes for a tired 2nd night though.:rolleyes: |

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
There's a diference between an alcoholic and a **** pot . A **** pot can take a day off.
