Is 7 AM too early to drink beer?
I went to Food Lion at 7 AM this morning while my son was at swim practice to get him some Gatorade Recovery drinks. As I'm checking out, there's a guy buying a beer.
 Breakfast of champions I guess.I'm thinking, Damn! it's early for a beer. I've hoisted a few kinda early at the beach on spring break, but even 7 AM would have been too much back then. |

Maybe he was at the store, bought the beer, and will be drinking it later?

as the famous saying goes... it's 11am somewhere!
Let's just hope he's not on his way to work. edit: Noah beat me by a keystroke. But 5pm? I'm not waiting that long on a hot summer day!

they have a breakfast beer in Vietnam.
i was in ho chi min city, and i found these bars opened at dawn. they have a super fresh, super low alcohol beer that the locals drink in the morning on their walk to the bus or whatever. they walk up and slam them, to hydrate. it tasted like very light coors light. i had one several mornings. then i saw the lack of glass washing and got a bit bummed out.

If you're going to drink all day you have to start in the morning.

i also think it is perfectly acceptable to start drinking while placing bets early in the morning at a casino sports book. gotta catch those early games. beer, breakfast burrito, a handful of cash...

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. -- Dean Martin

I've been known to drink early in the morning - usually when working night shift, occasionally when cooking a whole pig and had already been up and cooking for 3 or 4 hours.

When I was in high school, I used to work the night shift during the summers. It was a shipping company right by Detroit metro airport. At 5-6am, we would get beer and go sit on flatbed semi trailers near the end of the runway. I was only 17. I thought I was living the dream! lol.
