Is it normal to drink alcohol before 4:30pm

A friend of mine said his grandpa said that only alcoholics drink before 4:30pm?? If you drink after 4:30 then you’re OK, you’re not an alcoholic. But if you drink before, that means you’re showing signs of an alcoholic!! Do you agree?? Not sure if I do!!

    Hello, my name is Birdy and.....It depends on lots of things, not just time of day. I would know, I'm a recovering alcoholic.

    That's a dumb rule. I can't imagine having to wait 3 hours after waking up to start drinking.

    "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" they always say, because internally we all know drinking only starting around 5PM is retarded. I mean, come on, rich white ladies at country clubs are always drinking mimosas at brunch. Whatever you gotta do to survive, just make sure you're taking care of yourself.

    I think an alcoholic can be an alcoholic regardless of what time

    What if you have a few beers with lunch on Sunday and then a glass, or two of whiskey as you watch a movie?

    Or what if you work a night shift... Buddy of mine drives a van at night and he has a beer, or two before 11AM. For him that's dinner time and then he's off to bed.

    Seems like a pretty stupid statement. Everyone is free to enjoy a drink whenever they want. As long as you don't get wasted every day - you're not an alcoholic.

    I hate how some people frown upon drinking, but are perfectly fine with smoking. Yeah, cool bro... I can destroy my lungs and give myself cancer as much as I want and that's ok, but drinking... Nah, that means you're a POS drunk and a failure at life. Piss off!!!

    I’ve heard that the golden time that makes it accapetable is 5pm. It likely varies by region. I think the idea is that drinking all day is a sign of an alcoholic.

    I drink from when I get up to when I go to sleep. I would much rather space my drinks out over the whole day than binge drink within a few hours.

      I've always thought it was actually healthier to drink constantly spread out over the whole day vs chugging down a bunch of liquor in 2 hours before you go to sleep

      It means you had a good night out. Thinking about it now... last time I got properly wasted with friends was almost 2 years ago.

        I run around town with my friends probably twice a week. Can’t keep a good dog down!

    Drink whenever you want as long as you don’t rely on it to get through the day
