You nailed it. Just got home from the power plant. Ended up having 4 beers.

I used to work 3rd shift. Drinking beer at 8am was common.

If you live a normal life, and you need 3 beers to get going in the morning...yeah, you might want to, ya know, get some help.

Use to, they shut it down and dismantled it. At a combustion turbine plant now.

I know how that feels. Take care.

You were there? I was there each year from 1970 to '74. Warm beer and cold hot dogs for breakfast, waking up to the sound of a Matra or Ferrari screaming down the straight. Went to a visit with a friend at the Ferrari paddock and wasn't allowed in. I didn't look right
It was cold on race morning in 1974. A guy a few camp spaces down got in his car that night to warm up with the engine running and woke up dead. Then Helmut Koenig did his dive into the Armco. That was the last year for me.

You know the beer isn't going to be a solution. No harm in taking a temporary remedy for the way you feel, but you know it can't be permanent. Have beer for breakfast this week. Get busy solving your problems next week.

"We arrived during a break and the workers were hanging out, having a beer and talking."

I was there 75 - 79. Bunch of guys from the fraternity chipped in and rented a motor home every year. Parked it infield at the top of the chicane, first row from the track. We were a brazen bunch, and all walked into the paddocks thru an unmanned gate, and walked around like we owned the place. I've got a whole bunch of 35mm color prints of all the luminaries that I need to find and scan. Rob Walker (R&T) interviewing Colin Chapman, James Hunt, Mario Andretti, etc. With a nice last picture of an angry steward marching our way to eject us and our beers, which gave us away finally.

I asked the same question several years ago. I dropped my son off at swim practice and went to the grocery store at 6:30 am. A guy rode his bike into the store and bought a beer.

Don't ask drunks if you have a drinking problem. Ask a professional counselor.

[WPOZZZ]

I drink by myself at home. I go through a fifth of scotch a week. One of my friends told me I'm an alcoholic. I told her I can stop anytime.

Want another AA joke?

A guy is sitting at the bar w his wife, having a beer. He says, "I love you."

Wife says, "is that you or the beer talking?"

He says, "I was talking to the beer."

In the words of the late Rodney Dangerfield:

I have joined the AA. I still drink but I use a different name.
