What time is a decent time to have a glass of wine?

[YouAreBoringMe]

I wfh. I finish at 5pm.

What time would you crack open a bottle?

I somehow feel that anything before 8pm is a bit too early.

I came to say this. 👆

Although I don't like wine, so it's gin and tonic for me.

Today I had a beer at about 7pm after finishing WFH at 5:30. Depending on how I feel sometimes it's a bit earlier, sometimes later, often not at all.

I don't work now. I actually tend to drink more in the daytime. Often I'll have a couple of glasses of wine at lunch, (which to me is about 3pm) then one before dinner at about 7 to try and whet my appetite.
I usually pour one to go with dinner but then don't finish it.
Everyone's different. If I were to start drinking at around 8pm I might feel the urge to 'binge'.
I tend to drink lots of water at dinner and after.
As long as it's not causing any issues then drink when you feel like it.

This. If I go out for breakfast I'll sometimes have a mimosa if there's one on the menu! As long as you don't have issues with alcohol then just have a drink when you fancy it.

3pm if it's a Friday

I have been known to have mulled wine instead of tea whilst wfh in the run up to Christmas

I wfh and sometimes like to have a glass of wine about 6pm whilst I finish up emails. Everyone else has logged off so there are no disruptions. Bit of music on. Lovely

After 6ish, but usually I wait until 7pm unless it's a special occasion.

When the kids were little, as soon as I got downstairs after bedtime stories, so about 8pm.

When they were older, 6 pm glass of wine while cooking everyone’s dinner.

I don't drink every weekend but I think after 5.30 while cooking dinner is fine. I often have a g&t while cooking too (on the weekend)

I find a nice dry white goes well with my cornflakes.

7am, after the alarm goes off?? *joking! (Maybe wait until 7.30am 😄)

Yep 😄
I finish at 3 on Fridays so sometimes it's 4:01 🥂

Me too.
I think as long as you've finished work , what does it matter?
On a day off / non school night / anytime after noon - 12.00

Oh when the sun is out all bets are off .

In my head it’s 18:00 midweek.

Any time after 12:00 at the weekend.

Unless I’m on Holliday which means one or two around lunch time (but not getting day pissed!) I think dinner time is acceptable which for me is 6pm

if I didn’t eat dinner at 6 then I would still think 6 is ok.

i think it depends on how much and what responsibilities you have in the evening really. I wouldn’t want to have more than one if I had the kids around for example but I can say that because I’ve not got young children, so others may disagree with me!

also I very rarely drink on a weekday (a few times per year) so it’s not something I really need to put much thought into

Whatever time you fancy one. I'd happily have one while working in the afternoon. Baileys in a morning coffee, whatever.

i don't drink much these days, but I'll have one when I fancy one, time doesn't come into it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

"With" or "on"?

A full glass over them and another generous glass to accompany them. If having a boiled egg and soldiers, a full-bodied red is called for.

Sometimes I have a glass of wine in the garden on an early afternoon while the kids are in school. It's bliss. A hour to just sit and unwind surrounded by the carrots and Strawberries 😅

Depends on how often you are drinking! Friday night it's fine straight away but not if you are drinking Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday!

It's always 8'o clock somewhere! Hope you enjoyed your wine op! Life is too short, enjoy! It depends when you're going to bed etc.

This sounds like bliss! I am imagining a thread about to drop: AIBU to judge a drunken mother on the school run wearing loungewear 😂. Cue uproar, and talk of social services.

Depends on the day I've had and what is happening in the evening. I don't like to drink late, so would more likely open a bottle while cooking dinner.

I think that’s about 10:30 am . . .
