If it wasn't a working day for me,
I would usually polish off any alcohol left over from the night before.
Countless times I drank at least 6 beers before noon, then went out for more.
I figured there would be less chance of a DUI in the middle of the day.
Sometimes, if I had passed out drunk really early the night before, I would be up at 5am
again drinking.
In that case, usually I had everything polished off by 8am.
Then I would sit, fidgeting and watching the clock, till the 10am liquor store opening.
I did this for many years.
