I've never enjoyed in drinking the day

In the evening, absolutely. But drinking in the day has always made me feel a bit woozy, lethargic and unpleasant. Anybody else?

Wine with lunch is one of the best things

The key to happy drinking in the day is don't stop, as soon as you stop that's when the feeling shit dehydration downer starts...with night time drinking you sleep for 8 hours after you stop.

If you want to stop spinning after a lunchtime session then force yourself to drink a couple of pints of water, it's hard but does help.

...not that I have an enormous amount of experience in both daytime and night time drinking...honest!

Yeah me too. I used to hate it when I was a student - walk out of dark pub into bright sunshine... and it's only half past three. Oof.

That's the secret !

I love going out at dinner time then home about 9-10pm !

Don't do it, I used to love it, but I'm usually still pissed by ten after a decent session anyway.  If I had a few in the day it would become full time 24 hour occupation as you can't just stop at 5pm and go to sleep as it knackers up your body clock, although I was sorely tempted today. 

It's my new self discipline regime, no drinking alone and no drinking at home.  The advantages are that I socialise, or at least pretend to, the disadvantages are that I am broke.

In reality it means going down as late as possible and necking as many pints or real ale as I can as fast as possible, minimum one every 15 minutes is my other rule, otherwise it gets boring and you lose the buzz as I'm really only there for the beer.

Used to love super Sundays and drinking all day and night when I lived in town.  Especially as I was being picked up and driven to work the following Monday at 5am.

Nah not really. Christmas Day is about the only time I'll ever drink before 6pm. Unless I'm on holiday abroad that is. 

And I like a fckn drink too! 

For or me it comes from working in pubs in my teens, and Sat/Sun 12pm onwards you'd see folk getting sauced and off home fckd by 4pm. Rest of the day shot as far as I'm concerned.

Holidays bring it home to me. Started off the holiday with a lunchtime beer or two, knocked it on the head by the end of the first week. 

I'll make an exception for going to watch cricket and rugby though. That's different.

100% with you, doesn't make me unpleasant but just knocks me out. Never feel the urge for beer until the sun starts to set

If eating out, I do like a glass of wine with lunch, but I know what you mean, I get a bit wooly-headed a couple of hours later.

Last Friday I had a cider with my dad and my brother, over lunch in a pub, then travelled back into London and went to work late afternoon.  I got into the office and I felt absolutely bloody awful, sweating like a pig for ages, despite the air conditioning.  Which isn't like me at all.  I don't know if if was the alcohol, the hot weather, or the even greater heat on the Tube... it might've been the sugar in the cider, which I'm not used to.  Whatever it was, it was unpleasant!

I used to love it. Struggle now, age related I think.

Same here. I like a drink, but drinking during the day completely wipes me out. I think it's age related. I haven't been drunk for years because I fall asleep first.

Sambostar

But it's OK as it's nightime now.   Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It's not so much the age as the lifestyle choices to honest.  I know I smoke.
