What is the socially acceptable time to get drunk?

[Comrade B]

I think that 5 tends to be the common belief, but honestly, often I am too bored to wait.

[bcbm]

when you wake up

[ontheyslay]

For me it's after my son goes to bed.

Other people? I'd say it's socially acceptable to start drinking around 5.

[Comrade B]

when you wake up
here here man, but I can understand after someone has kids with the other time, haha

[spiltteeth]

I feel it's polite to wait till after your court appearance.

[Eat the Rich]

Well getting drunk is not acceptable to me, as it wasn't socialy acceptable in the society I previously lived in. To be honest, I don't find any reason to get drunk. I drink until I become more social and have less "restraints". More drinking than that I think it gets anti-social.
So when I drink in a pub I usualy have two pints of Rickards Red, nothing more. I like to be on my senses, be able to have conversations and in general have a good time. I don't like ruining my good time, along with my braincells by abusing alcohol.

What is the socially acceptable time to get drunk? Exactly 27 seconds past 6:48 pm, to be precise.

[cb9's_unity]

Whenever is a good time for you. The notion that there is a specific socially acceptable time where you can put alcohol into your body is absurd.

Morning.
Mid-Morning
Noon
Afternoon
Evening
Night
Early Morning

I agree with the 5 o'clock rule. its always 5 somewhere else in the world! so drink for them! i guess you could call it alcoholic solidarity.

To quote a boozer I once knew:

"I'm not an alcoholic; alcoholics go to meetings!"

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

No drinks before lunch, that's my personal rule.

[Rusty Shackleford]

To quote a boozer I once knew:
hahah im hardly an alcoholic. i rarely get to drink. (under 21)

[Wanted Man]

There are different rules everywhere. I don't think most people here care, although some have claimed that the "rule" is 12 or 1 PM. But that only refers to starting to drink. When you get drunk after that, depends entirely on yourself.

[Jazzratt]

You can start drinking when the sun is over the yardarm (about 11, coincidentally opening time) and at minumum you should be drunk in 2 hours, more if you've the stomach for it. This rule can be waived if you're going for a 24hr drinking slog (which is a fun activity, mark my words).

[Wanted Man]

Starting early and going on for the entire day is always good fun. There's nothing like seeing everyone sit down for dinner while they're already pissed, and then the evening has yet to begin.

[Искра]

It's not communist to drink.

[Pogue]

Any time after midday

[ezza_lv]

alcohol will degradate everyone

[Pogue]

alcohol will degradate everyone

thats why we drink!

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

I would have thought degradation would involve more whips, chains, and tight-fitting leather/PVC outfits.

But maybe that's just me.

[ezza_lv]

LOL, so you want to make people to succeed not revolution but degradation... that's terrible, it's just what USA government wants.

just after elevenses ;)

[Comrade B]

It's not communist to drink.
How about smoking?
Tobacco is more harmful than alcohol, it makes it just as hard to fight back in the future... but we see Fidel, Guevara, and Mao all smoking... not to say that they are all communist, but I don't think it hurt the revolution too much...

alcohol will degradate everyone
You got to be kidding me.

thats why we drink!
actually, I drink because people say funny stupid shit when they are drunk, like this:

that's terrible, it's just what USA government wants.

You can be military straight edge if you want, but don't fucking tell me what to do with my body... if there is a revolution in the next hour, I will stop drinking, but until then I will enjoy sabotaging every relationship I get into with blatant unhealthy drinking.
It is my problem, not yours.

[Dr Mindbender]

if you drink early its easy to justify as hair of the dog if you're hungover.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

I've never understood this "hair of the dog" bollocks. Firstly the last thing I want is alcohol when I'm feeling rotten and maybe nauseous depending on how bad it is, and secondly it's the last bloody thing my body needs as well - I find that drinking plenty of water and having something large and greasy to eat speeds up my recovery.

[Jazzratt]

I've occaisonally felt quite good for hair of the dog. I think it's because I just got drunk again and therefore didn't mind the hangover.

[Wanted Man]

I had to look that up... We call it "nadorst" (lit. "after-thirst"). I never do that, I just drink a lot of water and pray.

correct

Going in the pub the day after a skinful at 11 am = legend,
10:45am = alcoholic

We call it "reseter" or "restorer". I dont do it myself, I usually cant stand to look at alcohol after a night of heavy drinking. I mostly ride out the hangover with aspirin and a big, greasy breakfast.

The “hair of the dog” rule only comes into play when you wake up from a night on the piss and are still actually drunk (sweet).
If you wake up hung over then the "plenty of water" theory is the way to go.

[Manifesto]

I say 3 when I get out of school.

[Redmau5]

It's not about the time. It's about the place, the people your with, how much alcohol you have left and whether or not you have to do anything after you've finished drinking.

[mannetje]

As long you don't have to do serious things like work, It's no problem to get drunk on anytime you want.:)

[Comrade B]

It is sad that this is the most popular post I have made in a long time...
