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

In my opinion it is around 5 pm.

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

Otherwise, around 5 sounds about rt

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)

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

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.

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.

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
