Is it ever too early to start drinking?

I came in from class one day and popped open a Corona and my friend was like, "It's only 12!!"

I mean, is it ever to early to start drinking? Considering if you're at a party you'll be drinking until 2 or 3 am, and that's bloody earlier than noon imo.

When I'm at the lake in the summer with my friends, it fairly normal for us to pop the tops on a few beers around noon or so. If we're on the skies and the jet skies and stuff, we don't start drinking until three or so when the skiing and boating is over. I can remember a few times last summer when we were just laying out on the boat, we would pop the top on a few beers as early as eleven...

Man, was that an early to bed day. LOL!

Generally, my friends are kind of early evening drinkers. We usually like to start gathering around at the sports bar about six or so in the evening and have a few beers before couples begin pairing off on dates and stuff.

If it's kind of like a party night, we will start about eight or so and by midnight will have a few shots of Jaggermeister or Jell-O shots.

It depends what and for what reason.

Besides Coronas are for the day time.

Why would it ever be too early to start drinking ?

I had been at a cricket match for what felt like forever (it had started at 10am) and some friends went to get some beer so they got me one, I started drinking it, and then freaked a bit when I saw that it was only 11:30am!

I'm not an alcoholic, I'm not an alcoholic, I'm not...

(Seriously, for those of you who don't know me all that well, I've only ever been drunk once in my life and I always volunteer to be DD--this is why I was horrified to find that I had consumed alcohol before noon!)

I've been known to drink in the morning, it's never too early. I've had a beer with breakfast when I was camping out, nothing wrong with that.

At first when I saw the thread title I thought the poster meant AGE.

Well, I don't drink period.

So for the rest of you; care to put AGE as well as time??

Some bars open at 11 am so noon is not too early.

When i used to drink quite a lot, it was not uncommon for me to wake up and start on the vodka or bitburger and drink quite literally all weekend.

These days i would have no problem with a beer at any time as long as it was in moderation.

There's no time that's too early for a ice-cold beer or a crisp glass of wine. And, in the United States, at least, if you're under twenty-one years of age and drinking alcohol, it's too early, and that's the law.

Why drink at all?

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-04-20 11:21pm

I only drink honestly to relax or at night.

I don't see a problem with time, it all depends on situation but for me personally I try not to unless over a good dinner or dessert(maybe company but depends)

Try ordering a ceasar to go with breakfast in T.O around 10am--you'll get funny looks from the waitresses.

Just think of the morning as a very late form of night

On the last day of classes here in my rez, people were starting to drink at like 8 or 9 in the morning.

The time is relative anyway. I ocassionally drink after work which ends for me at 0630. Luckilly the stores start selling booze again after 6 (except Sundays when it's after 1000) otherwise I'd be SOL.

You know it gets bad when your TA asks you to ditch class with him and go drinking.

Shoot me for asking, but what's the point of getting drunk before an exam? Isn't it better to do your best on the test and then get drunk afterward?

Trytostaydead · Post by **Trytostaydead** » 2003-04-21 01:18am

Drinking a beer or two helps you to relax. Being to wound up is just as bad as being too relaxed.

Was that in reference to me?

I don't know, it was in reference to something.

And here I was, opening the topic thinking it was going to be about underage drinking.

Only if you know that your fucked for that particular class, might as well make it an interesting exam
