Is it bad to get drunk at 10:00 AM on a Tuesday?

Today was such a nice day, so I walked to work. I passed this bar that had a sign outside saying, "Happy Hour 10:00 - 7:00 everyday" and I thought, hmmm...drinking at 10:00 AM on a tuesday...interesting idea...

Ooh, I had this almost overpowering urge to call in sick and just get myself bombed. I don't know why. I haven't had a drink in the morning since I used to work the graveyard shift and we'd go to the bar sometimes on friday mornings after finishing our week. I think that in a couple weeks, when I'm on vacation, I'm going to do that one day. What do you think? Is it a good idea?

As a rule, vacation doesn't start until you've had a Bloody Mary with your breakfast.

oh, make sure you smoke a joint before going to the bar. That'll ensure you eat a lunch.

Does the bar face a giant car wash?

Until 25 years ago, when I was still drinking, I knew all the bars opening at 8 am (only two opened earlier but they were not in walking distance).

I probably drank a lot early when I used to go deep sea fishing. We would leave so early just to get to the boats - the boats left from around 5am. As soon as the boats were moving the bar was open. We would start around 8 or 9 getting beers - heck it felt like noon we were so early!

Isn't there some song about that? Sheryl Crow. Everyday is a Winding Road. There's something in there about drinking on a tuesday afternoon.

So I guess it would have been a good idea to go to the bar then. Dammit, this stupid work **** is cutting into my transition from working class fool to non-working alcoholic loser!

Two weeks from today though, I am getting drunk in a bar in Florida somewhere. I vow it!

Another excellent idea. Should I shoot some heroin too? I heard that a good shot of heroin after a couple beers feels like experiencing both Nirvana and Armageddon at the same time. Very exciting. So I've heard.

Hi kicky, Go for it~! You need to take control of your life once-in-awhile to do what pleases you. Just make sure that the one day drinking doesn't turn into one week. Wink

No problem. Okay, so you heard it, folks. C.I. says it's okay to get drunk one day a week at 10:00 in the morning. I guess that for the rest of the week, I'll forego the booze and just smoke pot and do heroin all day. Thanks for the green light, buddy!

Likewise, buddy. I'll be sure to let you know how the C.I.-approved heroin and pot experiment goes.

Sheryl Crow, in All I Wanna Do, wrote:

Hit it!
This aint no disco
It aint no country club either
This is la!

All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
Its apropos
Of nothing
He says his names william but Im sure,
Hes bill or billy or mac or buddy
And hes plain ugly to me
And I wonder if hes ever had a day of fun in his whole
Life
We are drinking beer at noon on tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash

The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits

They drive their shiny datsuns and buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too
Well, theyre nothing like billy and me, cause

[chorus]
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling Im not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling Im not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over santa monica boulevard

I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And billy likes to peel the labels
From his bottles of bud
He shreds them on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
Before blowing and cursing them out
And hes watching the bottles of bud as they spin on
The floor

And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads

Chorus

Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the buds and the clean and dirty
Cars
The sun and the moon but

Chorus
