    Would you ever have a drink.........

    Would you ever have a drink before 'the sun is over the yard arm' ?
    I mean, would you ever wake up in the am and head straight to the fridge for an ale ?

    I wouldn't. I think I developed a set of rules when I was young designed to stop me becoming an Alkie (pity they didnt work)

    Same here - seeing gangs of tourists guzzling lager at 8.00 am at the airport always makes me feel self-righteous! And lonely

      No.

      I'm aware of how easy it would be for me to become addicted to something, hence my addictions tend to be towards the healthy stuff like work.

        I occasionally enjoy a prosecco in the morning, and there are many people in Germany who drink a glass of sekt with their breakfast. Good for hangovers.

          I was drunk most mornings in June 2002.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            The sun is always over the yardarm somewhere in the world. I just change my state of mind to encompass that

              Because you started in the morning or forgot to finish the night before?

                Ditto all counts. Was impressed with old-time expats when I worked on the plantation: they would literally not start until precisely sundown.

                I make a very few exceptions, all part of a strict rule: bucks fizz on Christmas morning, etc.

                  I rarely drink before the sun sets.

                    No. I have to have been out of bed for a couple of hours.
