Dude, it's your day off. As long as you're not doing it before going to work or taking care of children, drink away! Have one for me.

I neglected to mention the stash of weed I just found or the xanax bars I've got left over from somewhere. This could be a fun day.

Ha. If you have a stash you just found and any kind of leftover anything, you don't have a problem in my book.

What if I have a low-power stash specifically designated for wake-n-bake?

I was looking forward to a day at the library, but it's pretty much turned into a day watching movies piped into my house via out new On Demand cable. I'm in the mood to pick up some rum and make mojitos in honor of, you know.

I'll check back in.

Impressive... My missing gallbladder salutes you! : )

Even in the worst days of my drinking, I never, ever touched booze in the morning (upon waking, I mean. I was often loaded at 5am after drinking all night, but that was 'the night before').

Of course, this helped fuel my denial for years. I couldn't be an alcoholic because I didn't drink in the mornings.

Good luck to you, item. Enjoy your day. As rainbaby says, anything 'left over' is a good sign.

Anecdote: most of the gifts people bought me back in the day were drink-related, including this gizmo for re-sealing an opened bottle of wine so you could keep it fresh for next time. WTF is that all about??!! There was never a next time. If it was opened, it was finished. When I cleared out my kitchen in readiness for a re-fit, I found it, unused and still sealed in its box, at the back of a drawer.

Item: are you referring to comcast's on demand? If so, I think they have karaoke too. Whoo hoo, what a fun day you have ahead of you!

item, drinking at breakfast is totally sanctioned, as long as you call it "brunch."

after a few more drinks you can call it 'blunch.'

a few more and it's 'take that back, you azzhole....'

danostuporstar: If you employ a term of art for the practice, that makes you a professional.

I'm trying to decide what boose'll carry me through the day nicest. A nice wine? Fortifird wine? No no no no...

I just got back from the store with a bottle of my personal poision, Tequila. 100% blue agave. This day's gonna shape out nicely.

You know that you're really primed for an excellent day when you drink two 40 ouncers of High Life before stumbling off to work.

Seriously, it's a lot of fun, you should try it.

I remember when I rolled out of bed one morning in college and cracked open a piels to take the edge off and my new girlfriend said "Oh my god, you're an alcoholic!" and I said "This one measly bullshit Piels that is more of a sports drink makes me an alcoholic but the 25 beers I drank last night while high on speed is ok?"

I say drink 'em if you got 'em and don't drink if you don't want to and just remember there are sober people in China so don't spill a drop.

WHat an excellent way to begin August. cheers!

Have a tequila for me, item.

Tequila requires nuditity. Preferably with company.

I was sitting here sipping iced tea until I read this thread but now I'm going to go the Stop'N'Rob for some cold beer. Intoxication -- it's what's for breakfast!

(Hey! It just turned five o'clock here! That means it's OK to booze it up! Woot!)

Re: tequila. Patron is SO overrated. It's good, but it's just too expensive. Try the Sauza Reposada or Cuervo's Reposada Anejo if you can find it -- it's aged in fired oak so it has the peppery bite of tequila married to the smoky notes of a barrel-aged whiskey. Yummy.

I wouldn't stigmatize the booze.

But I would probably stigmatize the eggs n' refried beans breakfast combo. At least until you had digested it all.

It's late. I'm teh smahsed. Thanks, item, for contributing to my delinquency. Fucker. Wanna fight?
