Drunk By Noon

[mistah willies]

The Handsome Family have a rather pleasant tune called "Drunk by Noon" (which could be a contender for The Board anthem).

I misread and thought it was thenm Hansons. Tjis is much better.

If only those pesky "Evil Dead" had used this as a catchphrase, maybe Ash wouldn't have needed his 'BoomStick'...

This thread just gave me a plan for tomorrow...hel, I may just not stop drinking tonight, just to warm up the engines...

Indeed. Nikki Sixx said something along the lines of: Why get undrunk this morning when I`m going to get drunk tonight anyway?

I had a mighty powerful buzz started before noon today. I could not have, in good conscience, delivered HBE pairings whilst undrunk.

I hear/see so-called "sensible drinkers" having some rule about not having a drink before midday. BUT, what I've seen, is that it's those very people with the "midday rule" that watch their watches and clocks like hawks, and then, at the very stroke of noon, they drink like fishes!

Well, I say, SCREW THE "MIDDAY RULE"!

My take on this is that rules are only fun to break if you follow them the rest of the time. There's nothing special about a champagne breakfast if you have one everyday. Also, all those clock watchers get to savour the anticipation of rewarding themselves for waiting. I personally follow the noon rule & I've broken it many times. Hair of the dog is an exception to the rule, but I have my own rules about that too - it has to propel one up & into the day. So, it has to be taken standing up, has to be drunken reasonably quickly & can be no more than three standard units of alcohol. That's just me though. Besides, any time after 11am is pretty much noon as far as that goes.

don't forget to take daylight savings into account too

Fuck it, it's almost noon anywhere else on this spinning marble. Let's make an appointment each the top of each hour to start drinking again.

It;s refreshing

Aw shit this thread made me realize how long it's been since I've been daydrunk. I sleep in too late and drive a car most days so I only get to the drinks in the evening the majority of the time.

[booznik]

By the time I returned with a fresh supply of beer and victuals to supplement the beginning of another booze-up... I had 5 minutes to become drunk before noon.

So I'm a little late, but I made it to the destination. There's a word processor calling to me.

Every hour your phone rings. Imagine that.
Do a shot and go to sleep again.
But don`t fall asleep on your watch! We all have seen Platoon, didn`t we?

Yes for sure drunk by noon has a magical quality, perhaps only 4 or so times I have managed it usually running over from previous days drinking.

But there sure is a magical effect to that sense of unfolding at noon, where the whole day still remains, "everyday" people are out and about and our braincells are nicely under the influence.

Yes. Noon drunk is a nice concept, and I will remember for last working day of this month when I will have a few more beer tokens.

[JimLahey]

The last time I got drunk before noon was when I had to drive a friend to the airport at like 3am. When I got home I cancelled work and opened two bottles of wine and watched the sun rise, was magical.

Watching the sunrise while dreunk, knowing you have nowhere you need to be, it is indeed magical.

Rules, Rules, Rules....Most rules about manliness, and being a gentleman I agree with. However, not having a drink till noon I cannot condone, unless, you dont get out of bed till 11:55am. As posted above, having a champainge breakfest everyday does not take away its specialness. That statement is like saying that getting laid everyday takes away from how good it feels. See, the difference is that all of here are a rare breed. To consume the amount of alcohol we do on a daily basis is truly mans works, and quite frankly not everyone is cut out for it, hence the rule. It makes being manly or a gentleman easier for the faint of heart. Personally, alcohol in the mornings is just as importient as brushing your teeth. Leaving for work with a slight buzzzzz is a simple joy in life, along side with a few nips throuout the day to keep that subtle buzzz alive, but completely undercontrol at all times. You dont want to slur infront of the man. So yes, have your drinks before noon, just dont give the rest of us who can keep it under control a bad name. If however you dont have to go to work, there is nothing wrong with stumbling your drunken self to the taco truck down the street at 11am.
