I tried drinking during the day sometimes back when I drank. I always fell asleep by mid-afternoon, and the drinking day was wasted and ended up as no fun. Instead, I began cocktail hour at 6:00pm. and I could drink until the early hours.

I want to know if PSX’s friend wanted to know, and if PSX is lying face down in a toilet because of his rampant drinking.

The fun part of drinking only lasts for a couple of hours, for me anyway, so if I started at 2:00 I’d be drunk, tired and irritable by 5:00 and the whole evening would be shot. The early part of the day is for drugs, alcohol is for unwinding at the end of the day.

Then you realized you didn’t need life advice from someone who makes minimum wage checking groceries.
