Bikes: I built the Bianchi track bike back up today.

So I was breaking the law when I woke up at like 4am, and decided that a few shots of Jameson and PBS were the perfect way to get back to sleep?

Oops.

I dunno about the before 8:00 AM rule.

1. Early morning beer, pre-8AM or not, is a very good tool to shorten the hangover you earned from the night before. If you can get it down, that is.

2. Camping.

3. Coffee and Sherry.

1. i personally find that a lot of caffeine, vitamins and water fix my hangover more than anything else (also advil...lots) but if beer works, then hey, whatever

2. come on now, everyone knows that when you are camping all rules are out the window!!

3. do what you gotta do

What if you're still a little drunk from the night before when you wake up? Do you have to wait, or can you just keep going?

Drinking at 1pm, by yourself none the less? You're an alcholic, seek out your local AA meeting

are you people implying beer isnt a tool?
when i work on anything (considering i've worked on cars profesionaly for 6 years now... i should add the "for myself" disclaimer) theres almost always beer around... cars, boats, bikes, buildings... etc... beer has a special place in my heart... and my toolbox!

Exactly. Rule number one if you don't want to be called an alchy, is to make sure someone is around so they can't say you are drinking by yourself. You can probably hire some grade school kid to watch you drink. That's what i would do.

Oh crap, I must be an alchi too, I mean last semester I think I drank beer at around 1 pm once or twice. I better go to AA.

Drinking alone at 1am makes you an alki, not 1pm.
