It’s been 3pm for me the last couple days. We’re dying of boredom at my place. My roommates and I we’re joking about how we’re only a couple days away from saying F it and playing lunch break drinking games.
 
Airport rules. Drink whenever you want. Mashed potatoes for breakfast? You bet.

Number one reason I keep coming into the office every day is to reduce the risk of day drinking creeping in. I’ve stayed pretty active with exercise but just the reduction in regular movement and the increase in booze and food intake has me up five pounds in one week.

I said 5 because (a) I am working until at least then and (b) calories. Can’t really increase the hours of the day when I’m consuming liquid calories. That would be no bueno for sure. I’ve also been doing video calls every day.

I’m really good about not eating much when I drink. Just enough to keep my stomach stable. I also prefer whiskey, water and a heavy splash of diet or vodka, soda, small splash of OJ. Those don’t do too much damage.

I’ve definitely been known to pound some beers, strong microbrews included, but beer is just so damn filling. In 2017, I made a New Year’s Resolution to drink whatever I wanted and watch my food intake. It didn’t work out. I drank several IPAs nightly, visited a bunch of breweries and gained 20lbs in 4 months. Lost the weight, tinkered with some different things and figured out that beer makes me gain weight much faster than whiskey. No idea why, but it does. Now I reserve most of my IPA drinking for restaurants and breweries with a good selection and atmosphere.

I did the same. Beer is a social beverage for me now. I’m mostly drinking whiskey now and red wine.
 
Cold one? As in beer? You’re not drinking the hard stuff like the rest of us?
 
Definitely agree with your strategic thinking

Normally at this time the past 15 years I wud be at a bar with my buddies watching the second wave of the first round games- instead I’m sitting in my house contemplating whether I should go for a run or to make myself a drink - I think I’ll be proactive and run first then come back and drink/

Fear of the COVID 19?
 
I'm on flex time now. Going 4 hours after waking up before the first brewski seems reasonable. That could be 10 am or 2 pm.
 
I found a nice Covid19 elixir. Today I began drinking:

20 oz. (I think) Yeti tumbler
1. double shot Tito’s
2. Fill with water
3. Pour in 1/2 packet of Super Orange Emergen-C and
gently swirl with lid on.

Been going strong for 6 hours with little effect other than a relaxed happiness and I drink them pretty fast.

5pm for me for man reasons.
1 I work till 5.
2 I usually have to run out somewhere after 5 be it to get a kid or to pick something up.
3 I've become a bit of a light weight.
My taste for beer has grown over time and I like beers with a lot of flavor and that comes with high alcohol content. I'm usually looking at 9.5% and up. Being that I get the 750 ml bottles, 1 bottle usually does me in. I usually have a meal with half of it, some good ramen or something. Then finish the rest with some chips or something. Then I sit on the couch..... Then I wake up....

So yea 5pm for me.
 
If golfing it's the tee time which tells me when. I played last weekend but admittedly thinking of staying away this weekend despite the guys still going at it. Why take the chance? Oh I know why so I can have my morning coffee with sambuca/baileys prior to tee. Then have a few beers and a couple nips of McGillicudy's that's why.
Crazy thing is I rarely drink at home so this is a "good thing" for that portion of my life. When people come over, boys for poker are really the only times I drink at home. I'm loaded with inventory because of that so no worries there but for now if I'm not golfing or watching the NCAA dance I'm cutting way down. Call me a bar fly of sorts. I had 2 Mich Ultra's the other night when my son came over and we grilled some nice steaks. Other than that zero for this week.

Now for the answer, whatever time you feel you would like to have one or a few is the right time. If you don't have weber's, teleconferences and such then wake up and throw a nip or 2 in your coffee to see how you feel. Then take it from there.

Or maybe a couple pulls off a warm bottle of Rebel Yell from your trunk?

9:24 tee time today. Good chance there's a screwdriver in my hand as we ride to the first tee. I read some stuff suggesting lots of Vitamin C and E are good for keeping off the Corona.
 
I told my wife that the 200 bottles of booze and the 8 cases of beer we have in the house was made for a time like this.

Side note, she’s a teetotaler.

I'd go with G&Ts right now. It was the Brits favored medicine against malaria during their imperialistic days. Quinine. You'll need to pump down about three an hour for prophylactic effect, which I'm sure you can handle, although it might get increasingly tougher to score well on the back nine.

Since summer I've been a shut in due to repeated vitreous hemorrhages. I have to sleep upright, and have both eyes covered for all but a few minutes at a time in order for the blood to clear.

I get everyone freaking out, but it could be worse.
