I have a friend staying. We had wine last night and there was about a glass left in the bottle. MY FRIEND HAS JUST DRUNK IT FOR BREAKFAST!

This isn’t normal is it?!

Same here, Christmas, holidays and when really late nights turn into morning.... don't know how people could face the hair of the dog thing.

OneStrangeRocj · 06/05/2018 10:12

no i would think they have an problem with alcohol if someone i knew did that

Hmm yes definitely send her to AA.

jay55 · 06/05/2018 10:12

Only on holiday or xmas morning.

notsohippychick · 06/05/2018 10:12

No not normal at all. Did she drink any more last night other than the bottle you shared?

Seems very odd behaviour for a person that can drink in moderation.

CrabappleBiscuit · 06/05/2018 10:12

Prosecco for breakfast in Venice.

HaudYerWheeshtBawbag · 06/05/2018 10:13

I’ve drank on a morning if we have a celebration/event.... not just doing household chores.

KimchiLaLa · 06/05/2018 10:13

No, not even when offered it on a flight at 10/11am. Something about it tastes weird
at that time. But come 12pm and I'm all about it!

Cheto · 06/05/2018 10:13

I'd be more concerned u only partly shared a bottle of wine last night and there was still a glass left over ! HmmWinehow can people do that

LilMadAgain · 06/05/2018 10:13

Once before a really important football match as a prematch ritual at 7:40am but I almost boaked and had a cup of tea immediately afterwards!

longhairdocare · 06/05/2018 10:14

Yes, this was straight out of bed, in our dressing gowns, I went to make coffee, friend started picking up our glasses and nibbles bowls from last night, picked up bottle of wine (red, opened all night) and said “I might as well finish that” and drank it!

She’s having a bath. I shall ask her if that is normal when she’s down!

Christmas, airport, on holiday & many moons ago when I was very young...

My38274thNameChange · 06/05/2018 10:14

No that isn’t normal!!

I’ve only ever had a drink in the morning at the airport because I hate flying and it takes the edge off!

gamerwidow · 06/05/2018 10:14

It could be a warning sign if coupled with other signs of alcohol dependency. On its own as a one off though it means nothing.

MrsDylanBlue · 06/05/2018 10:14

Yes Grin
On holiday, Christmas and 30th birthday as was “depressed” (FFS am now over 40 what an idiot I should have been rejoicing)

Elvisola · 06/05/2018 10:14

A hotel we were staying at in Greece offered Prosecco and smoked salmon for breakfast every Sunday. Bloody lovely.

I wouldn't at any time though!

blackteasplease · 06/05/2018 10:15

Only once really but was going on holiday albeit by train and boat not plane.

I wouldn't get up and just have a random glass for breakfast!

MissBartlettsconscience · 06/05/2018 10:16

1st May in oxford. Pubs open at 5.30am. Some people carry on in the morning, others start early.

LagunaBubbles · 06/05/2018 10:16

Apart from Christmas morning I drank loads once...was early 20s and on a bus trip to Blackpool that left at 8 in the morning, was pissed before we left Scotland, ah the memories! Grin

LittleLionMansMummy · 06/05/2018 10:17

Christmas morning only.

DontDrinkDontSmoke · 06/05/2018 10:17

Champagne watching the coverage of Kate and Will’s wedding. I missed the ceremony 😴

Glasgow Airport, it’s the law there.

Breakfast champagne on Xmas day.

My SIL’s friend will finish a glass of red wine left out from the night before, before the school run. She has ishoos though.

harriethoyle · 06/05/2018 10:18

Lol @cheto!!

longhairdocare · 06/05/2018 10:18

MissBartlettsconscience oh, my friend is from Oxford! Not sure if that has. Nothing to do with it though.

At festivals in my 20's we'd crawl out of bed and open a few tinnies of Red Stripe in the morning.

Not since then though.
