AIBU for having a pint with breakfast in town?

Just back from a trip into town to meet my friend for breakfast.

We went to a well known pub chain - both had a fry up each, washed down by a coffee and a pint (Guiness for me, cider for my friend).

DP has declared that very out of character and not a great way to start the day.

AIBU?

Hey it’s sunny outside and they didn’t think twice about this when I lived in France.

Although… I’m assuming Wetherspoons, and for that YABU!!
Nothing unreasonable about a 'Spoons breakfast!

I think that adults should eat or drink what they want as long as their choice doesn't adversely affect someone else

Wetherspoons food is fantastic.

That’s brunch not breakfast I’d say - and it’s really none of your DH’s business anyway.

It was a breakfast - it was 9.30

Ha, there was a reason I didn’t name them!

You can’t go wrong with their breakfast offering IMO. I wouldn’t touch anything else food wise though.

I find it odd behaviour but to eaches own. Even at the airport I find it weird anyone can stomach alcohol before midday, bar perhaps a Buck’s Fizz or mimosa

YANBU

But I agree it's an odd way to start the day.

Whether it's out of character or not, I don't know.

It's perfectly acceptable to drink champagne with breakfast, why not a pint?

RampantIvy · 25/04/2026 12:00

It's up to you. I never fancy alcohol first thing and prefer tea or cofee.
I do drink but prefer to drink in the evening.

It’s the weekend- I probably couldn’t get worked up about it unless you were caning it most mornings!
