What's your drinking time?

Featured Replies

Are you a proper gentleman who doesn't imbibe alcoholic beverages till sundown or one who likes a morning beer, only occasionally of course. I have fond memories of having bailey's and brandy in my coffee over a fire in the morning while camping, good times. It's 1150 here in between rain and sunshine in beautiful Thailand and I'm on my second beer, bout right.

    These Bavarian veal sausage are not supposed to hear the church bells at noon.  Therefore it is necessary to drink before noon.

Very adult like, it's good to have limitations. 

4.45-5pm if home alone

Not before midday under any circumstances, apart from an early morning 60km+ cycle ride ????

A few beer to dinner or sharing a bottle of wine, a few more  in a bar or gin tonic in a club. 

 

Can go out to an Irish bar when passing for a couple of Guiniss.

 

Can be months sometimes before drinking anything, or almost every day if on holiday for a week or two.

 

 

Every time i eat pizza,two or three times a year.

Call it a special treat and i really enjoy that.

At parties i never drink alcohol,i have too much fun watching others get shxt faced.

Whatever I'm in the mood for.

Evenings. Only. I am not an alcoholic, after all.

Only on Sunday before dinner around 16.30 and if I don't need to drive at home as the barbeque at home with Songkran or birthdays and of course Christmas and New Year .... and always after 17.00. 0  I never drink  every day and never in the morning or early afternoon.  and honestly I don't understand why people here in Thailand have to drink from mornings on already...Thais or Westerners....

I never drink alcohol after 2am or before 8am.

If you get drunk before 8pm, no hangovers.

A morning buzz is awesome.

Personally, I don’t really like day time drinking...  but thats never stopped me from meeting friends at a pub or going to a Sunday brunch etc...  day time drinking is just not a regular thing.

 

That said, there is no fixed time... If I feel like it I’ll have a G&T by the pool at about 4pm... Or, I won’t have any drink or beer at all in the day and perhaps have a Whisky at 11pm, or not...  Most days I’ll have a beer or a glass of wine with dinner and thats that, on others I’ll have 3 or 4... Or, I’ll meet up with friends and have too many !

 

There seems to be this state of mind that ‘having a drink before xx hrs’ is not the right thing or its an allusion towards alcoholism etc - is it sun-set which has varying times, or is it 5pm, 6pm...  it doesn’t really matter IMO.

 

As the saying goes...”oh well, its noon somewhere” !!!  

 

So for me... it doesn’t really matter, if I fancy a drink I’ll have one... 

 

 

 

Anytime as long as I can make 3 or 4 teetotal days a week.

 

Actually my body gives me the limit clearly; if I drink 50cl of wine two or three days in a row, my energy levels go seriously down.

i sometimes struggle to see a difference in the phrases "drinking time" and "awake time". ????

Beer o'clock of course!

Not an issue really unless the Tai relatives turn up at 11 am !

 

Mind you, 2 beers these days and I'm struggling not to drift off

Never ever before 6.15 pm and rarely after 10.45 pm with 3-4 tee total days a week.

 

Seldom drink beer except at restaurant and only  liquor when I do drink.

A screwdriver goes into a bar. The bartender says, “Hey, we have a drink named after you!” The screwdriver asks, “You have a drink named Philip??”

 

A baby seal walks into a bar. “What can I get you?,” asks the bartender. “Anything but a Canadian Club,” replies the seal....

A penguin walks into a bar, goes to the counter, and asks the bartender, “Have you seen my brother?” The bartender says, “I don’t know. What does he look like?”...

As I get older it starts earlier. In my  Teens and Twenties i wouldn't be seen out earlier than 8pom and home before 4am.

In my thirties, started a bit earlier at 7pm and home for 12am.

In My forties love a drink on a hot day at 4pmish and home at 9pm.

In my fifties, I like a drink around midday and want to finish at 6pm

As I got older I started earlier and finishes earlier. 

 

But I also get up earlier as I get earlier and go bed early. So now I get up at 4am (often earlier), bed at 8pm. Midday isn't too bad for a drink.  Couldn't drink everyday, as the enjoyment would go and it never gets in the way of exercise. 

 

I think the important thing is drink when you want as long it doesn't affect your normal life and that of others.????

Thats me to a tee as well. By the time the finishing work crowd is coming in I am wobbling my way back home. I do like to have someone to drink with me as well as I like the craick. Also means I have so much sleep I am usually hangover free the next day.

Im on my 3rd white month.Feel great.When with my in korat sometimes at balcony at  nigthtime.No booze,just a beer or two.In my hometown i never go out.Last 2 years not even once.

What's your drinking time?  ????

Whenever I want it to be.  But my father and grandfather were 'maintenance drinkers.'  They only drank at 5am in the morning when out in the boat fishing.  And absolutely no drinking while out hunting!  Other than that a 9am Bloody Mary seemed be in order to take some 'hair of the dog.'  On work days they refrained before lunch.

Me?  I'm a social drinker.  If I drink it's usually in a social setting.  If out fishing with the old men, yeah, I'd pop one at 5am.  If I was with friends on the weekends, yeah, the brew came out when the football games started.  Wine or a drink during dinners in a restaurant. Sure. Or out carousing on Soi Cowboy with guys I used to work with - no time no limit.
Or maybe I decide I'm in the mood to shock the puritans and crack a beer with breakfast at large social events. Depends on my mood.

Most of the rest of the time?  I have no "Drinking TIme."  I seldom drink outside of social settings.  People with set "drinking times" should reflect on the "why."  'eh?  :thumbsup:
