I was just reading another thread and the issue of morning drinking popped into my head. I thought it would make for an interesting discussion, especially as it involves denial as well as complete honesty(if only with yourself).
Many of us say we never took that morning lifter - we weren't hopless alchies because we didn't drink in the mornings. I then hear tales of folk drinking til they fall asleep at 1,2 or even 4am. Some say they go to the pub, come home have a sleep and drink between 11 and 3am. "AM" is in the morning so where do we draw the distinction?
I said for years I never needed a morning drink yet often I'd be under the influence, alcohol in my system through til mid morning and sometimes early afternoon because of the sheer amount I'd crammed in the night before. I also had a partying phase where from 8pm Friday to 8pm Sunday I'd be taking E, speed and drinking beer. Dancing through the night into the morning when the sun came up with perhaps a few hours sleep, up at midday drinking mid afternoon through the weekend. We never classed that as morning drinking.
I'm of the thought that cramming in so much drink we don't need to drink in the morning or drinking til the early hours, plus the other one where you might sleep until midday then drink in the afternoon - is all the same as morning drinking. The times and amounts are simply technical details.
Something to think about both for both those on the wagon and those who aren't sure what is the right way for them.
Have a great AF day.
