When is it an acceptable time of day to you to start drinking alcohol?

[Cal.]

In my opinion it is around 5 pm.

[Cherie]

When I worked in London we had lunch time drinks on a Friday and would roll back to the office afterwards and carry on working

[Cherie]

You wouldn't have fitted in with your 5pm rule :idc:

and then there was beaujolais nouveau day when it was sampled prior to starting work in the morning :hehe:

[Mokka]

If I'm holidaying... Anytime around lunch, or Bailey's in the coffee at Christmas in the morning :hehe:

Otherwise, around 5 sounds about rt

Me as the black sheep of your office on a Friday lunchtime?

[Jake.]

A drink with lunch doesn't hurt

[Crimson Dynamo]

For me I am pretty strict to adhere to 7pm


When I worked in advetising in the 90s in London if we took a client out to lunch it was frowned upon if we came back before 4 and more often than not we never came back and would meet everyone in the pub at around 6, baldderated

If we came back a bit early and started to sober up we kept drink hidden in the loos so we could top up (mostly a friday this was)

[Jake.]

Yeah that happens on friday's frequently at my work (also in london).. not with me, the high up people

[Crimson Dynamo]

When I was at the BBC (sounding like Ronnie Corbett now) we would go out around the dives of White City on a Friday and have like 6 pints and get back at around 3.30 and then walk around the offices holding a piece of paper looking cross (this was a great way to waste time and no one would pull you up as they thought you were going somewhere) - it was all about wasting time till we could hit the beeb bar at 5.30

[Samm]

I only drink if I'm coming out/with freinds and pre-drinks start around 5 so yeah

[Cherie]

We would leave you behind to answer the phones :laugh:

[bots]

When I worked in the city, it wasn't unusual to go to the pub for 3 hours of a lunchtime, 2 or 3 days a week for a 3 or 4 pints, and then have a nap before heading home.

[Denver]

10:30 AM

[Margarine.]

Never for you babes you're underage x

[Lee.]

On holiday 12pm, at the airport anytime, at home 7pm, at home on a hot sunny day at the weekend 11am.

[Crimson Dynamo]

On hols with the boys then we have been known to have a can of tennants for breakfast to stave off a a terrible hangover and whenever the golf ends the bladderation must begin

[Kizzy]

I don't drink but when I did it was 9pm.

[Crimson Dynamo]

why so late?

[Locke.]

Depends really. If pre-drinking before a night out then usually about 10pm assuming we're heading out at 12. But then there are times when you go the pub for the match so can be drinking as early as 12.30pm.

[AnnieK]

On hols after 12.

Don't drink at home during the week or if I do it may be a glass of red around 9pm. Weekends will depend what we are doing etc

[Crimson Dynamo]

12 minutes to d-day

:fc:

Oh yeah... If it's sports in the afternoon... got to have a beer or two.

[armand.kay]

If I go to a bar or pub for lunch my mates normally get a pint so I do too but normally I don't drink unless I'm going out and that starts at like 9 while I'm getting ready for pre's :hehe:

[Shaun]

Earliest I'd drink is around 2-3pm (if out at lunch or something)

[kirklancaster]

I very rarely drink at home with the exception of the odd glass of wine, but that is strictly in the evening when I am chilling.

I reserve my drinking now for 'social' occasions - in or out.

yes, the tricks we play..

[Jessica.]

No time is acceptable "to start" since that insinuates a session of drink or a binge. If someone has one beer with their lunch at noon there's no harm in it or a glass of wine with dinner at 6pm, it really doesn't matter. However I disagree with the unhealthy binging that goes on.

Sorry Mother it won't happen again

Are you trying to bait me for having a healthy attitude? :oh:

[Babayaro.]

If it's before a night out then i'd usually start drinking around 8ish then head to the pubs at like 9-9.30, before going to clubs at 12-12.30. I'm not a fan of drinking during the day

[reece(:]

On a typical night out I usually start at 7-8 then pre drinks will be around 9-11.

[jennyjuniper]

When I first came to Denmark I was shocked to see beer on sale at breakfast in most work canteens. Aquavit was also to be had with breakfast. But things have changed and now most workplaces won't serve alcohol in their canteens.

No.

Morning Jenny. This is a wise move on the part of those workplaces.

..my granddad would have a whisky as soon as he woke up in the morning, well a huge whisky..he put it in a mug so that my mum wouldn't know...she did know though and when she talked to him about it, he said that he hadn't been able to find the tea bags...

Um depends really if I'm on holiday or meeting friends then lunchtime is ok, mostly if I'm going to have a drink it'll be after 9 though

[lostalex]

i think it's always okay as long as you aren't operating heavy machinery (including cars) or caring for children. I think it's fine any other time.

[Lee.]

I'll be drinking large glasses of wine from around 1pm today @ Edinburgh airport! Tenerife here we come -squeal-

[Kizzy]

Have a great time Lee! :D
