How early is too early

[Schmeltz]

... to start getting loaded?

I'm just about ready to get blazed and down a few cold ones, but it's only 9:45 am. I kind of feel like I should hold off for a couple of hours, maybe do something more productive with the day before I start. Something in me rebels at getting fucked up before it's even noon. But I can't really say why, I don't have anything to do now that finals are done, and I bet breakfast and a shower would feel great after a few hoots.

Is any time the right time to start partying, or do you have a cutoff?

If I go out to read at the riverside or wander round the woods with mates, I often get drunk in the morning. Otherwise the german saying goes "No beer before 4 o'clock".
You'll prolly not be hungry after beer so early, I can't stomach anything then, which just adds to the bliss. So what are you planning to do later?

[abcdefz]

I think the rule of thumb in America (at least in the '50's businessman/AA-member-to-be) was "not before noon."

I've rarely rarely rarely drank in the morning after having just awoken, but I've certainly blazed upon re-entry.

Not that I recommend these behaviors, mind you.

It's always 5 O'clock somewhere.....wake and bake...

the workers are going home.....

If I'm drinking, I wait until I'm off work for a few hours. If I'm planning on getting tanked, the earliest I'll start is usually around 8:00 PM.

If it's vacation time and I'm at the beach, I usually bring beer to the beach and start getting loaded at around noon. But that's vacation and thus a completely different scenario.

They start selling alcohol at 7:00am here,

Interesting....

[Otis Driftwood]

Shit, the beer gets warm pretty quick at the beach...
People selling coldskis make a friggin fortune of us poor alcos! :mad:

[QueenAdrock]

That's why you need to get an insulated beer holder, keeps 'em cold. (y)

[Otis Driftwood]

They start selling alcohol at 7:00am here, so I have always used that as a good rule of thumb.
What's the use of 24/7 if you can't buy alcohol 'round the clock? :confused:

[abcdefz]

I think alcohol sales shut down here at 2:00 a.m. and re-open at 6:00 a.m. I know one time I'd been drinking but wasn't ready to go to sleep, and I went to a gas station to buy some beer, and the guy said he couldn't sell after 2:00. That really sucked, because I was already in drinking mode. :(

i'd say there's no such thing as too early, but on the days when i plan to be drunk all day, i rarely even wake up before noon, so i dunno

i say go for it, though

In some county's I've been to in the States you can't buy booze on sunday's....freakin mormons......in this province there are even a couple of "dry" community's founded by religous zealots.....and alot of reserves as well,which is a sound idea in principal but a miserable failure from a realistic perspective.........

connecticut is like that (not because of mormons though, i don't think we have very many). in massachussetts (where i'm currently living), the stores are open on sunday, but they close early. like 6:00 or something. bars are open all night though.

one thing that pisses me off about boston is that the bars stay open until 2 or 3 or whatever, but the trains and buses stop running at about midnight. what the hell is that? it's like they WANT you to drive drunk.

It's not even the Mormons. Montgomery County is like that, we have over a million people living here and are the largest commuter county to DC, so we're not backwards or redneck or anything! No booze on Sunday, wtf?

Yeah, I've come across it in Cape Cod and Utah......I don't know that I really would want to ride public transit,drunk,at 2 or 3 in the morning in Beantown unless I'm with a posse......:D

[Schmeltz]

You can buy booze all week long where I'm from, but I know there's parts of Canada where liquor sales are restricted on Sundays. Look on the bright side, at least it's not like in Venezuela where they shut the whole thing down for Lent, or whatever.

Also I decided that it was too early to drink, but not too early to smoke. A compromise that I feel has left all parties concerned more than satisfied. (y)

Some local woman just got arrested this last weekend. She was drunk on the light rail and started talking up some guy who didn't want to be bothered, then she wouldn't let it go. She followed him all the way into the police station, where he lodged his complaint. :D

My general social convention around other people is not to start drinking before 12pm. However if you're alone or with like-minded people then start drinking whenever you want. I've started drinking before 10am a few times in the past.

And blazing is acceptable at any time, I used to have a smoke on the way to school at 8.30am.

[Lex Diamonds]

There one rule that over turns all other rules. If you are still drunk, then you can always drink more no matter what time it is.
Yeah I've done more than 24 hours before. At about 9am you feel like a bit of a cunt but more drink soon makes you forget about that. (y)

[Big Gus]

I wake up most Sundays and start drinking straight away, usually for the morning re-run of Match Of The Day - so about 8am?

By 12 I go to my second job in a pub. Drink more then am usually in bed by 8.

It's a Sunday ritual and I always wake up after a really wrong deep sleep refreshed and ready for my other job.

well, it's better than the combination of drunks and private transport.
