How much before noon can ya crack a cold one before you're considered an alcoholic?

YOU;RE PRETTY MUCH A GONER IF YOU KEEP ONE ON THE NIGHTSTAND AND CRACK IT BEFORE YOU GET OUT OF BED

The time of day you drink has nothing to do with whether you are an alcoholic or not.

Someone who works night shift may open a beer at 7:30am when he gets off work.

Now if you open a beer at 8am, and drink continually until you go to bed at midnight on a reglar basis, you may have an alcohol problem.

ITS OK TO CRACK A COLD ONE UP IN THE MORNING, HELL I DO IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE AN ALCOHOLIC. JUST DON'T LET IT GO OVER 1 OR 2 BEFORE NOON.

Don't let other people tell you what times are appropriate for "responsible drinking". It's all arbitrary in the end. You sound like you're too worried about what other people think and not taking enough time for yourself.

If you're an alcoholic, let them bring an intervention. Until that happens, you have no excuse not to live for the moment. Have the drink that society tell you is too early! You've earned it.

It depends on the occasion. For Instance, in Morgantown, West Virginia - before a noon game - it's more than common to see innebriated fans well before 10am. Then again, we pre-game harder than other schools party.

Enjoy!!

I like champagne for brunch on sunday. Makes the whole day a bit more mellow.

And bloody mary's for breakfast when I'm camping.

Mimosa's are good in the morning too.

Beer if I'm working in the yard.

Who cares what the clock says, it's time for a drink when it's time for a drink...

My saying is it's noon somewhere! Crack one open for me I'll over in a few!

Only an alcoholic would ask a question like this!

It's only alcoholism if you can't live without it . and a person is only an alcoholic to themselves at the moment they admit it ..

thats funny i have just asked a question if its ok to crack open one or 2 before i start work hehehe.
