Beerball Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Every summer my buddies and me do a lake house trip to a house named Valer Engen. I've already challenged my mates to the 2014 Valer Engen Challenge: A shot and two beers on the hour, every hour, beginning with the first hour you're awake. You go to a house that has a name?
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Love the line: "if you love me dear, you'll understand, I gotta have beer in my right hand" "just about the tenth bottle lost my blues" Classic.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) by morning I assume you mean after sleeping a few hours. many many many years ago when camping, first thing in the AM. Crawl out of the tent and crack one open. currently ...... late afternoon on a weekend. Edited February 18, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever
Chef Jim Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 4:00am. Had to get me on the plane somehow. I love airports. The only place you can regularly see people drinking at 6 or 7 am and no one bats an eye.
mrags Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 6am while getting ready for Bills tailgates is normal come football season. I've been drinking earlier but why gloat. 4:00am. Had to get me on the plane somehow. I love airports. The only place you can regularly see people drinking at 6 or 7 am and no one bats an eye. i remember when i used to live in Vegas and traveling back to Buffalo for vacations. McCarren airport is brutal. One day you show up 2 hours early and your barely making it through for your flight. Other times your in and out in 10 minutes. Well, one time I showed up over 2 hours early and skated right through. Ended up killing almost 2 hours in the bar when they were offering buy one get one free on tall drafts and they were giving away a shot of this new Vodka for free with every tall beer. So needless to say, I was plastered on the plane. No idea how they even allowed me to fly actually. That was at about 8am btw.

I've shown up at the Oakand airport for my trips back east so early that effing Starbucks wasn't even open yet. That's ok. I had several mini bottles in the cab on the way there.

Nanker Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Drank many a beer at 7:01AM after getting off the graveyard shift. Other than that, there's lots of reasons and opportunity to start drinking during the early daylight hours. hic! hic!
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 While working various over night shifts....after working 6pm to 6am we proceeded to drink a case on numerous occasions. But on a normal schedule ive drank as early as 7am with breakfast
Marv's Neighbor Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I flew into Frankfurt Germany, and on my way to clear customs, there was a bar, on a lower level, that was packed at 0600. They were not drinking coffee.
IDBillzFan Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I love airports. The only place you can regularly see people drinking at 6 or 7 am and no one bats an eye. You need to meet me in Vegas one weekend. Granted, the people with cocktails didn't just start, but seeing someone with a Jack-n-Coke, pack of Marlboros and a stack of chips at the Pai Gow table while I''m looking for coffee at 6 a.m. is regulation. In college, we had more than my share of Breakfast of Champions: donuts and keggers at 6 a.m.

Mmmm.) Leftovers were breakfast, a few hours later.

Not to change the subject, but how did that credit card thing ever work out... Did the amount ever hit?
BillsPride12 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Over the years between numerous tailgate parties, St. Patricks Day celebrations, Vegas trips, golf outings and nights out partying that turned into early mornings I would say I have probably drank at all hours of the day some point or another in my life
sodbuster Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 About 7:00 am at numerous tailgates back in the day. Rules don't allow for that early of a start these days. that's why I park in a private lot. Roll up at 645, crack one open, start cooking breakfast. Buffalife.
inkman Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I am sure I have had a beer within 5 minutes of no matter what time it is in a day. This

But on a normal schedule ive drank as early as 7am with breakfast Shoot,back n da day the fellas working Trico 3rd shift would roll into Slomba's at 3 AM and drink their lunch....for a 18 year old punk like me always always provided motivation to get a degree! 4:00am. Had to get me on the plane somehow. I love airports. The only place you can regularly see people drinking at 6 or 7 am and no one bats an eye. For a long time, i needed a little liquid courage to get on any flight, even ones that left at 7.00 AM! Edited February 19, 2014 by plenzmd1
