5. They just opened up the "Somewhere Saloon" down the road from me.
The sign has a clock pointing to 5. Looks like they've been packed since it was remodeled to this state, so it must be pretty good. I'm just waiting for them to get sued for alluding to that song...

10. Ditto
I remmeber one time my buddy and I were flying off for a long weekend to go to a friend's bachelor party. It was Friday morning at about 8am when the flight took off. The flight attendant came around to take our drink order (the plane was mostly empty) and I ordered a beer and asked if they had shots. My friend looked at me and said "It's 8:30 in the fricking morning!" to which I replied "So? I'm on vacation."

A couple of the flight attendants ended up hanging out with us for a significant portion of the flight and they even had some drinks with us (which was supposedly against the rules).

so yeah. Ditto.

Right. Away.

9. Is this a "Man Law" quiz? I say the moment you park your car.
And if that's at the airport as you're flying out, even better. It's also a good argument for walking/public transportation while on vacation.

17. I disagree...
You can drink even BEFORE you get up. Just make yourself a batch of Bloody Marys the night before, and leave the pitcher and a bucket of ice next to the bed. :thumbsup:

14. 9 a.m.
Mostly because if you're up before then, you deserve to get your arse kicked back into bed.

16. On vacation? First thing in the morning.
You can drink before you even get out of bed. Have a cigarette while you're at it.

As for not on vacation,
On weekends, I wait till noon.

On weekdays, I wait till 5 p.m.

18. never.
Edited on Fri Jun-16-06 10:23 AM by QuestionAll
i can't drink alcohol due to the narcotic medication i have to take for chronic pain from a severe arthritic spinal condition.

however- i do spark up a jay the moment i get the rental car off the lot.

after that, it's the first thing i do every morning- why should i alter my habits just because i'm on vacation..?

19. If your camping, as soon as you get out of the tent
Nothing better than a Caesar with your bacon and eggs. Or, if it's cold - a Bailey's and coffee
