Never too early for beer

always too early for Heineken. ick.

I like beer...beer is good

You can get anything you want, at Larry J's restaurant.

This is just talking about what college students have known for year; beer is a perfectly legitimate breakfast food.
 
2004-02-23 02:44:42 PM
Beer! It's not just for breakfast any more!
 
2004-02-23 02:44:52 PM
it's all relative
 
2004-02-23 02:44:55 PM
Breakfast is only acceptable if you haven't gone to sleep yet. Seeing 8am otherwise is a crime.

God I love college.

Heineken... more like schmeineken.. i hate skunked beer.

We've got about five or six places that open at 6am here and being that I was a third shifter for a long time I can definitely appreciate it.

We used to go to one on weekends after bartending at our place and cleaning the bar. The old guy that ran it would let us make our own drinks and pretty much do whatever the hell we wanted. I remember several times waking up on his pool table with one of our waitresses just in time to get home, shower and get back to work at our bar.

Good Blurry Times

Molsen and eggs. It's a good combo....

I worked at a place that opened at 7:00am in the early 80's that was next to a factory. Those 3rd shift guys were happy to come on over and have a brew or 2 before going home. My 8:00am was their 8:00pm. And they tipped better than the "day" people.

Very cool for them. Working night shift does indeed suck and when life sucks, nothing is better than beer. Although, in the AM, I actually prefer Miller Light and V-8, "red beer."

Nothin' like the smell of hops n' barley in the mornin'!

A sign I saw at the bar:

"Beer...So much more than just a breakfast drink."
 
2004-02-23 02:49:13 PM
The best thing for a hangover...drink more beer!
 
2004-02-23 02:49:27 PM
Kegs and eggs, the staple of the college aged student.

Wife and I dropped into a coonass bar around Braux Bridge that was bustling at around 9am on a Sunday. Those people were a hoot.

You can put beer on your Cheerios, but I wouldn't use that piss Heineken.

An irish car bomb shot first thing in the morning always does the trick.

"Heineken...Fark that Shiat! Pabst Blue Ribbon!"
 
2004-02-23 02:51:23 PM
I've known a few retired guys that used to pour beer on their cereal instead of milk. Gave it that certain "buzz" quality.

I worked third-shift for a few years - it sucks horribly. Really, as the guy in the article says, farks up your body.

Just up the road was a bar that was open early, just for third-shifters. Place was full of techies, and people who worked at the local printing plant. Made for an interesting mix.

Better than the bar at 8:00 in the morning, though, is coming home at that time, making a pizza & drinking a beer, and answering the door for the Jehova's Witnesses handing out materials. I answered the door with the beer & pizza in my hand & invited them in to share my meal - they declined, oddly enough. Ah well...

Ooo. Beer and eggs. Good for making the blankets levitate....

When I was younger, I made it a rule never to take a strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.

And this, my freinds, is one of the many reasons I love living in St. Louis and am now no longer so homesick for the Bluegrass.
 
2004-02-23 02:53:21 PM
ya know, i wouldnt have ever thought of beer with my breakfast. but.. after having a nice microbrew with my steak and eggs once,i was hooked.
steak/porkchops either goes great with beer for breakfast.

"Beck's is for Beckfast"

That would be a great ad, although I have to give props to my friends Chris and Don for coming up with it (surprisingly enough) on a train trip through Europe.
 
2004-02-23 02:54:56 PM
Headline is wrong. Nobody drinks Heiniken in St. Louis.

GO STL!

Nothing makes the day better than taking full advantage of the "shampoo" effect - if you were out the night before (shampooing once), you only need a little bit of the juice to get yourself right back in the same state you were the night before (half the shampoo, same amount of lather second time around).

We had a "AM Breakfast party" down in Daytona Beach over spring break, and only bought like 1 gallon of milk. So the milk runs out quickly and everyone started eating their cereal with beer.

Thanks for putting that tune in my head, skinink.

Last year I got to meet Arlo, and he signed a guitar:



Very cool guy, too.
 
2004-02-23 02:56:43 PM
Heineken, either. Bud all the way.

"at Weber Road and Interstate 55, at the St. Louis city/county line."

Hmmph... got my hopes up for half a sec. The same junction exists here in Northern IL as well, about 20 minutes from me ( a stones throw in Chicagoland really...).

"Is today Tuesday?" asked Dan Chambers, a bottling superintendent at the nearby Anheuser-Busch brewery, sitting at the end of the bar at the Cat's Meow. "You get [bleeped] up when you work nights," he said.

Looks to me like a few folks will be having a chat with the boss sometime soon. If I ever get interviewed in a bar, I surely am not giving a full name plus my employer's name to the reporter no matter how manny beers I've had.
 
2004-02-23 03:00:30 PM
I can almost do this where I work, If I'm lucky. We had a contest to see who could come up with the best idea to make it more fun around the place. I suggested putting beer cans ramdomly in the soda vending machines. Everybody agreed on that one. So now every once and a while some one has a beer at his/her desk....

I had a similar experience when I was working third shift. My time on the overnight shift coincided with a major recruiting effort by the local Mormans, and I'd always greet them at the door drunk as a monkey by 11am. They do seem unnecessarily wary of early morning drunks.

/I love the smell of drunken theological debate in the morning

The Arcade in Memphis, near the train station, used to sell a Hangover Special for a dollar--a slice of cold pizza and a warm Bud for a dollar. Memphis Farkers, do they still?
 
2004-02-23 03:03:05 PM
I'm really weird when it comes to eggs, I can't eat them first thing in the morning, the smell of them cooking is nauseating. Lunchtime or later, I like eggs. At that time a beer with a veggie omlette might not be bad.
 
2004-02-23 03:07:19 PM
My feeling is, if you're going to have a "beer o' the dog" in the morning, have it first thing when you get up. Don't let your brain wake up and express horror and outrage through your gag reflex. If you think about it too much, it's kind of gross, but to the groggy, pre-hangover, reptile brain, it's just liquid cereal.

Why is everyone so down on heineken? I like it. Bud taste like weasel piss.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Good Breakfast-Bloody Mary, then a ham, egg and cheese on wheat toast sandwich with a Red Stripe
 
2004-02-23 03:14:04 PM
Personally, I like a bloody Mary with my omlette.
 
2004-02-23 03:16:40 PM
omlette?
we dont need no stinking omlette

If you're drinking beer at 8am, and you've been awake since 8pm, it's NOT BREAKFAST TIME. Jeez. And Heineken (or Hiney as it's known) tastes like bitter crap. Expensive, too. Doesn't help that for a long time it was the default beer of the better-than-you yuppie ("why, a red star? yes, I am drinking imported beer").

Heineken is the only beer I drink -- spend a few years drinking Heineken and you'll find even the smell, much less the taste, of Bud or Miller will make you vomit. There's a reason it's the most popular imported beer in the U.S. and it AIN'T farking yuppies -- it's because it tastes like a real farking LAGER! (Though Samuel Adams is also very good.)

AnastasiaBeaverhausen: Why is everyone so down on heineken? I like it.... Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy

I don't understand. What does a quote about beer have to do with Heineken?

/Hmm. e-mail. What does "banninated" mean?

Heineken? F*CK THAT shiat. PABST BLUE RIBBON!!!
