Yes.

I say sure, but then again I'm in college, and know people who wake up at 9 and start drinking
5/4/2012 8:42:30 AM EDT
[#3]
Absolutely.

In fact, you probably should've started earlier.

Shit just being awake makes it acceptable to be drinking at 9AM.


You can't be drunk all day if you don't start in the morning.

I have a friend who maintains its still messed up, my counter argument is that he is a pussy.

When worked swings I used to drink until about 4 sometimes.
Never did a grave shift but hell yes I would be drinking at 9.

I used to hit the stop-n-rob at 7am on my way home to get a 6 pack occasionally when I was working graveyard shift.

Plenty of funny looks, but I never explained it to them.

Of course.

I work graveyard shift.  So, let's say I go home, sleep all day, get up and go out with the guys... have a couple drinks and go back to work.  Shitty idea, eh?  'Cause then I'm drunk at work ad get fired.

Or, I go home, have a couple drinks, and then sleep the rest of the day, an be stone sober at work.

Yes.... your friend is a dumbass pussy who is only lookin at things through his conventional schedule eyes.
5/4/2012 8:50:54 AM EDT

Yup.



Plenty of bars fill up at 7am in Vegas.

I don't drink.  But if I did, I would start at 8 am, that's when I go off duty.
5/4/2012 8:53:18 AM EDT
[#15]
Hell yeah its ok. My night shifts end at 0600 beers and pancakes fucking rule.
5/4/2012 8:53:39 AM EDT
[#16]
Yes

I can't though, I fall asleep and spill beer on myself.

Been working 18-06 for eight or nine years, I just save the drinking for off days.

When your buddy suggests you drink at 5pm you can look at him crazy and say, why would you want to drink right after waking up and right before work?

I had no problem with it when working the nightshift.

That's the best part of working nights. You're allowed to drink 24/7 without being judged.

Worked the night shift, as well as a swing shift maybe a decade ago.

Still living in a major city.  (NOISE KIDS LAWNMOWERS ARGGHHH)

My alcohol consumption was about three times what it is nowadays.

Get home start drinking just so I could get maybe 4-6 hours of straight sleep.
By 9am I was working with a good buzz and closing in on the pillow.

Sure as hell can't fault ya with that.

I work 3rd shift most of the time. I wish more places served beer and hot wings at 6am.

Used to stop off and get steak and eggs with a wild turkey and heff chaser while watching nekkid ass...8am strippers are pretty hot.

I miss 3rd Shift.

I REALLY hate getting up in the mornings.

Your buddy's an idiot.  Would it be more acceptable to him for you to start a few hours before your shift, instead?

Night shift at the hospital I used to work at, we'd meet at Taco Cabana if it had been a bad night and get drunk on beer and crappy margaritas at 0730.  The employees were cool but customers never could understand why there were half a dozen drunk people in scrubs there while they're picking up their breakfast tacos for their kids.

9 is a little late. I work graves in the winter and get out of work at 7am. A few beers then bed time. So, it is acceptable IMO.

Your counterargument is no argument at all.  It is merely a statement of incontrovertible fact.
