Day-drinking....yes or no?
Shiraz, Pinot....hell, even a few shots of cheap vodka during a lunch date or right after breakfast for that matter..
What's so wrong about that?
Back in the 50's, people used to drink and smoke on the job!!
The point is...daydrinking is a taboo in 2018 and it's hilarious as to how uptight we have gotten over the years.
How do you feel about daydrinking?

I used to have a clock that was all fives
In the 50's it always was taboo to drink on the job , people did smoke cigarettes at work , stores, government buildings, just about anywhere. We are more aware of the danger we put other people in with our own activities. Day drinking (and other drug usage) is OK as long as you're not working, driving or doing anything that could harm others, that is your choice, bad choice but yours.

Alcohol is like any other drug/brain altering substance; different by degrees and parts of the brain affected.
I follow H.L. Mencken's advice. If you have anything important to do, like work, driving, getting married etc. Let it wait until after. Otherwise, it IS always 5:00 somewhere, right?

Not quite. Drugs like hash,cocaine,heroin are taken purely for their effect. Drinks like craft ales, quality wine and quality spirits are drunk because they taste good.
Depends. When me and my brother get together, we do some day drinking. I've never worried about it. If the situation is right, go for it!

I retired my drinking career in 1989.
I have fermented soda and it provides a small amount of ETOH for health...
I love booze--still. It just don't agree with my psyche and blood.
Enjoy!
Psst... are you in west texas? I'm in Truth or Consequences, NM

I'm looking forward to visiting Truth or Consequences..I'm 3 hours away!
In the 50s people used lead and mercury in everything didn't make it a good idea.

Personally people who enjoy alcohol too much have a problem
People eat tide pods and snort condoms in 2018..I don't see any difference between people then and people today.
@FinchiMcQ just saying cause some people did stuff in the 50s doesn't make it okay or fine to do. Using the 50s as way to excuse alcoholism is no better than using kids eating tide pods to make alcoholism seem less negative
@FinchiMcQ Just out of curiosity, how does one do a line of latex?
I was sitting here thinking... are we sure we want to follow their idea of socially acceptable? Lol
I also saw this as kinda hit and miss way to excuse one's drinking.
"itssss juS OUR cuul--ture. ThEY DID it in da 50s."
Hell yeah, screwdrivers! Cheers to you, have a drink whenever, screw taboos!

It’s not usually my thing, but there’s nothing wrong with it.
