5. I gotta admit, you've got a point there
Perhaps I'll implement that theory tomorrow. Holidays are fast approaching and I work retail.

6. define bad
If it is the same just-waking-up drink you have everyday, then it is a danger signal. Otherwise, my completely uninformed guess is no.

8. Nah
It's my "bored, sitting around the house and a hot chocolate with Bailey's sounds darn good about now" drink.

10. I'm sorry, but there is something wrong with the idea...
of waiting until after noon for a mimosa or a bloody mary.

14. absolutely not.
since i'm usually in bed my 8 or 9, i get up in the very early am for work, i tend to start drinking earlier than most when i drink. who cares? as long as i'm not getting in my car and driving (my apt is surrounded by school zones lol) whats the harm?

19. Welcome to DU!
you probably meant to post to the main thread, but that's OK.

:hi:

PS: I was teasing skygazer 'cause she's been struck by lightning; something that puts me in awe.

18. I've asked your question before.

Cheers. I've got an hour to go until cocktail time!

5 liquors. That'll do the trick. I used to bartend and if a young looking person ordered one, I ALWAYS carded them.

24. He said, son, I've made a life out of carding peoples asses,
And knowin their cards were fake by the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't mind my sayin, I can see you're out of vodka.
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice.

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if you're gonna mix the drink, boy, ya gotta learn to mix it right.

You got to know when to spike em, know when to fake them,
Know when to pour the bourbon, know when to rum.
You never count your jiggers when you're standing at the counter.
There'll be time enough for countin when the dude is down.

- Apologies to Kenny Rogers
