February 18, 201511 yr If I have a beer at lunchtime the day is shot. Can't handle it any more! I think a "sundowner" (say after 1800) or two is nice.
February 18, 201511 yr Author I rarely drink during the day. Better things to do. what?please continue in my recently opened topic... Oh you know. Stuff. I'd hate to end up in a situation where the only thing I could find to fill my days was get drunk. "... where the only thing I could find to fill my days was get drunk." ...or to start threads on TV asking things you should be old enough to have already sorted out on your own ... about personal habits or relationships or climbing out of holes you've dug for yourself or managing your money ... I see you are still your usual'barrel of laughs ' self.
February 18, 201511 yr Author u are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to even post such a story. WHO CARES what time u start drinking. just don't hit me on the road. Stay of the sidewalk and i will try not to hit you.
February 18, 201511 yr If u drink before 3pm reguarly i think u have a problem with grog, but thats a matter of opinion. Personaly its best to watch the sun go down for the first beer. Builds up your dinner appetite. I feel sorry for people who drink in the morning. There the type that get physicaly ill if they dont drink.
February 18, 201511 yr Nothing better than an ice cold beer (hair of the dog) to help take the edge off a hangover & was once told that it has been scientifically proven to help breakdown the poison that alcohol turns to as its processed by your body... Just need to stop at 1 (beer not AM/PM). Oh & not on a school (work) day, not on a day where you need to drive anywhere & not everyday [emoji106]
February 18, 201511 yr As my lawyer friends say "it depends". I would say earlier than about 10 A.M. is too early even if you are on vacation somewhere exotic. If you are not on vacation after noon is probably OK.
February 18, 201511 yr as I suspected all along, this site is filled with confirmed alcoholics. Your first next drink should be next month after you dry out.
February 18, 201511 yr 10 AM once or twice at 9:45 AM, I was weak. Use the weak points in your life to make you stronger.
February 18, 201511 yr Author as I suspected all along, this site is filled with confirmed alcoholics. Your first next drink should be next month after you dry out. i also smoke,does that confirm your suspicion that the site is also filled with smokers?
February 18, 201511 yr No need to put a time on anything when your in Thailand. Sleep when your tired, eat when your hungry and have a beer when you want one, different scenario if it's have a beer when you NEED one
February 18, 201511 yr Author No need to put a time on anything when your in Thailand. Sleep when your tired, eat when your hungry and have a beer when you want one, different scenario if it's have a beer when you NEED one Mick could not agree more,never feel i need one,in fact somedays do not drink.
February 18, 201511 yr <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> 10 AM once or twice at 9:45 AM, I was weak. Use the weak points in your life to make you stronger. Yep, i have always set my standards low, and consistently failed to meet the benchmarks................... But, it wasn't half fun.............................
February 18, 201511 yr I had a pal in the army, he used to crack a tin of McEwens open every morning when his alarm went off at 0700 hrs. This was too early, poor b@stard died before he was 40 when his liver packed up. Not many people knew he was an alcoholic; his performance in his day job was exemplary. RIP scouse.
February 18, 201511 yr What's that old saying..... one is too many..... a thousand not enough. or.... I'm not an alcoholic. Alcoholics attend meetings. After a good day about the house & garden, anytime after about 5:30 is good for me. Cheers..... Mal.
February 18, 201511 yr I rarely drink during the day. Better things to do. I gree with you big. I think it is very sad when folk over here find nothing to do other than get refreshed as soon as they get up. While waiting to make dinner or have dinner made by my nit-noi wife I will indulge in a cold one but not 'till after the sun has dropped behind the mountains . Life is good !
February 18, 201511 yr SIPI- be honest!!!! 'ere Crazy chef , you don't 'alf look like Al Bundy who takes after my own heart.
February 18, 201511 yr What time is too early for that first drink? The minute you decided to post this thread on Thai Visa.
February 18, 201511 yr If you're addicted, why stop? I'm not the one to ask, even at airport lounges I'm silently judgmental of people drinking during the day.
February 18, 201511 yr Author What time is too early for that first drink? The minute you decided to post this thread on Thai Visa. Well,you must be a laugh a minute,i am sure.
February 18, 201511 yr Author If you're addicted, why stop? I'm not the one to ask, even at airport lounges I'm silently judgmental of people drinking during the day. Is that a guitar on your avatar,or something else,if it is something else,wow,don't let Jingthing see it.
February 18, 201511 yr I rarely drink during the day. Better things to do.what?please continue in my recently opened topic... Oh you know. Stuff.I'd hate to end up in a situation where the only thing I could find to fill my days was get drunk. Unfortunately if you don't have self discipline and will power its a very easy path to go down as I sure a lot of people on here will agree.
February 18, 201511 yr What time is too early for that first drink? The minute you decided to post this thread on Thai Visa. Well,you must be a laugh a minute,i am sure. After a couple of brews, sure I am. Like most people. And I play a mean game of pool to boot. But! If ya gotta ask that question on a public forum, I'm thinking the OP may have a problem. Just calling it like I see it. Here. Here's was my dad's rule of thumb. Before sunrise if you have a fishing line in the water. However, if you're hunting, no alcohol until the guns are unloaded, ammo stored, bolt removed, and guns stored. If you got your buck early, lucky you. On work days, never before your noon lunch break. On weekends, bloody-marys after your morning coffee, which might be spiked with brandy. However, I'm not my Dad. On work days, not until after work, and I prefered to drink with friends. On days off, mid-afternoon at the earliest, probably watching sports on TV with friends, working on the car or in the yard. And a lot of days not at all. Then again, I've never asked anyone if drinking mid-afternoon while watching sports with friends on the weekend was too early. Some people may say 'yes'; others may say 'no'. And my friends wouldn't care one way or the other. Do I think my dad drank too early? I never saw him 'drunk' until his liver started going to crap in his mid-60s. And he never abused anyone in the family. He was a good guy and a good provider. <shrug> And it was his life, not mine. I just didn't follow in his footsteps. And he never once asked me my opinion about his drinking habits. The OP did.
February 20, 201511 yr I am not a big drinker and will go months without a drink. That said I will have a drink at whatever time I want. I don't really care what time it is. However I do like watching the sunset from the balcony.
