Erm, drinking poll. :)

I said 5pm on a normal day. But I have been known to have a glass or two at lunch meetings with "they who must be obeyed" But those drinks were forced upon me :whistling: :innocent:

I've bucked the family trend of 6pm and lowered it to 5pm in my household.....but never before that, not even at the weekends except for on special occasions :)

NB. The one exception to all rules which allows you to drink at any time of the day is children's parties :ph43r:

if it's only one drink, ok for lunchtime

if more, definitly by 6pm

:lol:

More than happy to have a drink at lunch. Earliest I've started has been when there's a rugby match on in the morning though (8.30 in the morning :o )

Earliest I ever started was 11.30am. We popped to the student union when a lecture was cancelled for "just the one" and ended up crawling home at 3am the next morning :blush:

I went for 5pm `cos that`s around dinner time for me. :)

But, except maybe for Sunday lunch, I wouldn`t generally drink until nightcap sort of time. :ponder:

Yes, there are a lot of caveats, aren`t there. :lol:

:lmao:

I think my earliest drink was 1030 am at the start of an Edinburgh bar crawl. Erm, it was a hotel bar crawl and did involve an afternoon cream tea. :blush:

Afternoon cream tea, that's appalling - did it have some alcomahol in it? :shifty:

Everyone knows the only acceptable foods on a bar crawl are pizza, curry or a kebab :ph43r:

EDIT: Or maybe a burger :ponder:

I'm glad to say I've never fallen off a pedalo, drunk, before though :snooty: How embarrassing would that be? :ph43r:

Here here :thumbsup:


sorry for knocking your wine tastes :whistling:

But my drunken food tastes are acceptable, are they? :lol:

Actually I can't stand kebabs but I acknowledge the importance of them in the drunken state :lol:

Erm, there was enough alcohol before and after to ensure that alcohol levels were maintained. :lol:

So, ricecakes with a slice of cheese and salami aren`t acceptable drunken foods then ? :ph43r:

Sorry Sarah, but rice cakes with cheese and salami aren't acceptable at any time. ;) :lol:

I mean could imagine it in a pub, someone offers round some crisps, nuts, even maybe a cigarette; you open up your handbag pull out some rice cakes, some Kraft slices and a pack of Tesco's Finest Salami and start offering it around, asking maybe if they would like a herb garnish or some freshly cracked pepper.....

Lunchtime is a perfectly good time for a drink :thumbsup: although it makes me tired for the afternoon so I normally stick to after 6pm :D

I know you`re being sarcastic, but I`m salivating. :ph43r:

And it`s Emmental or Havarti topped with herby saucisson from the Pyrenees. :snooty:

By the way, I`ve just tried the pinky wine, Nick - :thumbsup: - thought it was a bit sour at first , but I persevered and the fruity flavours came through. Good pick. :D

Oh, and I was convinced that I`d already replied to this thread, so if anyone finds my reply in any of the other threads, my apologies. :kate:

I`ve only had 1/2 a small glass. Hic. :blush:

I'm on holiday this week so I don't care - before lunchtime is fine :)

Though if you ask me next week when I'm back at work, I'll probably say the same <_<

I don't think there such is thing as too early by that I mean I've had drink in morning before e.g. some world cup games in Japan the our in the morning and other times like before my brother's wedding we all a had drink it's fine it just depends on the situation. As long you don't drink too much too often it's not a problem.

:rolleyes: Honestly. You won't get much writing up done with that attitude... :p

I think the earliest I've started drinking is at Reading which was when we woke up. But usually not til the evening. And I'm not really drinking much at all at the moment - sort of cleansing before university...

I only drink during the day about once a year, because I'm rubbish at it. I just want to have an arguement and fall asleep. I'm rat arsed now though. Hello!

I've voted for 5pm purely because there was a time when I used to go to the pub after work virtually every day. :lol:

If it's a Friday and lunch happens to take place at a pub, then sometimes I'll drink and sometimes I won't, depending on how sleepy I want to be in the afternoon. ;)

Also, I ditto Ria on the earliest I've drank being at Reading last year, when I sometimes had a can of beer with breakfast around 9-10am. ;)

I don't tend to drink much in the week now though (nor at the weekend), and when I do it's mostly after 8pm.

I tend only to go drinking midweek when I'm on my days off.......or sometimes if I'm on a late the next day....as I have to drive.......I voted for 8pm as I tend to go out later (This is mainly due to me being totally incapable of drinking slowly :blush: ....so if I go out early I end up totally ratted :rolleyes: )

When I used to live near the Airport and could walk home I did occasionally have the odd one or two at lunchtime...... :shifty: :innocent:

Drinking earlier than that seems to be reserved for when I'm in a foreign country....for some reason :whistling:

Everyone knows holidays don't count :lol: It's practically a law that you have to drink before lunchtime B)

a little aperitif before lunch :lol:

Or staying in the same bar for more than 24hours and drinking it dry.......... :whistling:

:lol: Cheap flights to Jersey or Amsterdam in the 80's.......happy times :kate:

:ermm: i think you still can do it on a few airline (swissair :innocent: )

Nothing better than a pub lunch that turns into an all day binge if you ask me, :kate: but only as an occasional treat of course ;)

like an english supporter during a world cup

or during a wedding week end :lol:




















:ermm: :ponder:

Erm think the earliest ive had a drink is 11am at a funeral, but otherwise, my drinking hour generally starts at 12pm, time permitting lol.

Problem is, your drinking that started the previous day only stops at 11:59 am :lol:

:kate: <-- It's not called "Kate" for nothing :lol: ;)
