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.

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

Why?

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

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?
 

that is way too early i think anything before 12 noon is too early

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

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 :-)

I can't do that, I am not confused about being either British or French, I am a real Brit :rolleyes::D:p

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?
 

a good move neil , now you can enjoy your day off without having to worry about people asking for a lift somewhere in your :D

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?
 

It brings an all new meaning to the statement I want a nurse a pretty nurse:D

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

It does release inhibitions .... but if you have none to release the result is disastrous:eek:

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

When ya have kids and work like most people, then a whiskey in the morning is a definate NO NO!!

Whiskey is poo anyway, a baileys is better:D, but iv never supped that early...bloody hell!!

Ill be lucky if i drink at 9 in the night:rolleyes:

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

What like this one entwisi? :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:

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

I hope it was a decent malt and not some firewater like Bell's.

If you ever feel the need to dry out, try spending a summer in the High Arctic;)

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

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

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

That all depends who the friend is ;)

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

That was the idea of the drink - it did not work. I have been struggling to get to sleep in the mornings for my last couple of night shifts. I come home all nice and sleepy, get the kids breakfast and school dinners ready, take then to school and nursery, come home to bed and can't sleep. It is getting silly, still awake at 12 noon today.

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

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?

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

I've got one! :D

Absolutely!

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

Ive had beer for breakfast before... gotta love festivals

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

Cornflakes and Stella don't do it for me:D

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

i used to work in a nightclub (zebras in colne, if you've ever been) and we used to go to the club next door (tower) when we shut and drink until the first bus came in at the bus station across the road, then go and get the bus home lol

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

9.40am to early? no as i have had a few drinks at 6am, ok dutch currage while waiting for my flight to the sun

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

It was probably minus the cornflakes jaysay!!!!:D:D:D

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

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?
 

my grandad used to do that to: and he was 90 odd when he died.... must be something in it: however he also used to have a few jars everynight and a full cooked breakfast everyday....

Re: How early is too early for a drink?
 

Is way too early for me, and never felt like a drink in the past when on nights, everyone is different arnt they, cant be any worse than having caffiene (tea or coffe) before bed, lol

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.
