In the 30+ years I drank, never--not once did I drink in the morning or right after I woke up. I think the earliest I ever srank was 1:00 P .m. It was like ewwwww to me. Guess I was lucky in that regard.

Never drank early in the morning.. Very rarely drunk before sunset.. But it never did any good.. For all of us who think alcoholism means 24 hours stuff only or the myth that you are alcoholic only if some amount of alcohol is a must in your blood.. Not necessarily true definition. It is never when and how much we drink.. It is what we do after we drink. Even if start drinking at 12 midnight, I will still have enough by 4 am so there was no need for morning drinks.. But never remembered what I did during last hours of drinking.. Sent nasty E-mails. Facebook posts, SMSs .. Friends , you know all these stuff...

My entire drinking career was based on getting to the booze when I could. As more and more of my responsibilities in life dropped off the more booze poured in.
At the end the weekends had none to very little responsibility so I drank right after my two cups of coffee, sometimes putting a little booze in my second cup. I drank all day long until I passed out. I am an early bird, always have been, so I wake at 3 or 4 am even on the weekend so I was having my first drink before 6 am.
I remember the first couple times I did this I thought, what the hell, I have no plans today. I also felt like crap from the drunk night before. Then, the what the hell was every Saturday and Sunday. I would tell myself over and over I would not do it again next week but as my second cup of coffee ended I was staring at the clock and thinking "I have to wait four, five, six more hours to drink". That pretty much sealed the deal and I grabbed a drink. Every time.
Even back when I could make it until noon, I did not want to. I thought about a drink right up to the time I was making my first.

I was lucky the liquor store here opened at 9:30 am. Yes, if I was on a binge I could hardly wait to get the booze in the AM. Figured it was 5:00 pm somewhere.
My binges could last anywhere from 1 day up to 5 days. And when I was on stress leave it just got worse, I would just take a day here and there of not drinking. I pretty well drank 24/7 at this point.
Where I live you can't get liquor at the corner store or grocery stores. Just liquor stores.

Yes I drank in the morning a few times. When I was on a bender everything revolved around when I could get my next drink. I had a store on the same street which opened at 6am. Thank heavens I don't have to live like that anymore.

I was all about the am drink...lol. Man I think of the time I spent in Japan last year....I was drinking from 5am till I passed out at times. I would have my "moment of clarity" moments on Monday mornings...would curse myself and say "I'm never drinking again"...then come Thursday or Friday I was out hitting the bars up...our "preflight" rituals were sooo brutal and I'm shamefully amazed on how we did it...and even that made it back to base. I tried to do this when I got back to the states but my tolerance dropped dramatically...I still hit it up though...it seems like my body knew there was alcohol on the premises...and I would wake up and start drinking....this went on pretty much till left for this deployment...man what a long, strange, bad trip it's been....!
So glad I'm dried out now....no matter how many "cool/funny" stories I have when I was out partying...there are 10-20 shameful moments that follow.

This is exactly the topic I was looking for when signing up this morning. I need 4 beers or shots by 10am to even mildly stave off the shakes. I'm on 20-30 drinks a day, after 2 hours sleep sometimes even I wake up in full body shakes and have to pick up a beer that I keep next to my bed; but that's at the worst of it. At the moment I can manage the 6 hours sleep before I need one. This is my first post, it must be a horrible introduction.
To add for that I was queueing outside the store this morning at 8am to wait for it to open to get 2 cans of strong white cider( nasty but cheap stuff). In my area in london, more disturbingly, there are about 3 other people queueing next to me for the same thing.

I don't feel like I am alone when I read these posts. I can relate to almost every single one of them. Even your reference to the nasty cheap stuff! I use to buy the nasty cheap stuff too.

Yep towards the end of my drinking career I needed one or two big glasses of wine just settle me down and helped me start the day. Even if the first glass made me throw up ... I'd go back for the second. Just took the edge of the stress of the day ...
