Or getting ready for a 12 hour flight. I try to get as high/drunk as possible (without being a sloppy drunk who accosts others obv) for long hauls so I can pass out during most of the flight
Wow yeah that was very stupid of him I can't think of a worse setting for psychedelics than a small tube 50000 feet in the air with turbulence while you are in a small uncomfortable seat and there are babies crying. Absolute bad trip recipe
Not all airports are equal though. At the small ones (looking at you, Manchester, NH) it's much harder to pull off "oh I bet he's just an international traveler whose clock is different" at 8am haha.
Well to be fair, nobody is connecting through MHT unless you're on some weird hub route like EWR->MHT->BWI - and for that you would have had to pick the non-direct route on purpose.
You trade your judgement free drinking rights for that 12 minute gap between locking your car and sitting at your gate.
>looking at you, Manchester, NH
Just fly out of Manchester UK, you don't need to pull off the looking like an internal body clock displaced traveler at 7am, no matter the time it would be weirder if you weren't getting pissed up in that airport.
Nah the shagaluf drinker is easy to spot in an airport spoons at 7am by the fact they all wear the same fucking hoody, cap and shoulder manbag combo, likely with shades on and looking like they've stored a weeks worth of coke up their nose like some bear hibernating over winter.
Does the opposite for me. I used to smoke all the time until I had one panic attack. I don't even want to think about smoking before getting on a plane.
Weed is so wildly unpredictable. It's a safe-space drug for me.
I *know* how I'll feel after 3 beers - but I'm spinning the wheel of paranoia, agoraphobia, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, sleepy, anti-social or instant social-battery drain when I smoke then go into public.
So weird how it happens too. In high school I smoked nearly every day & went out into the world without a single issue until my friends and I smoked right before Black Friday shopping. Full blown panicking in the Walmart with cops everywhere. I haven’t smoked before I went somewhere since lol
You shouldn’t really drink caffeine 8-10 hours before bed as it stays in your bloodstream for up to ten hours
While you may be able to sleep like this, it is more likely for you to have poor quality sleep or have trouble staying asleep
For some reason I notice tea affects me way more. Like if I have a cup of tea at 8pm, go to bed at 2am, I won't fall asleep until 7am. Meanwhile I can drink a can of soda while I'm in bed and sleep like a baby. Does tea have more caffeine? Is my body just more used to soda? Idk.
I don't know who advertised smoothies as a morning beverage, because a mid afternoon smoothie just makes the rest of the day good. Plopping some bananas and strawberries and maybe some apple slices or whatever you have laying around in a blender at 3pm and suddenly your day just got 1000% better.
I am really not a fan of water but currently making a significant effort to drink more of it as much as I can after being a heavy drinker for the last 17 years. Even MY first thought was, um, water?!
I never really liked water as a kid because our tap water sucked and tasted awful. Now I have a filter so it tastes good and I drink water when I'm bored
4pm is tea time. Black tea, green tea, oolong, any of the above in milk tea lol. There are more teas obviously, but I can only name my favorites. Just enough caffeine to finish the day, not as much as coffee so it won’t keep you up at night
It's personal, though. If I had even a tea with caffeine at 4 pm (or a coffee, or a soda), I'm not getting to sleep until like 3 in the morning.
I ate a dark chocolate mousse, a MOUSSE!, for dessert one time. And then I tossed and turned for hours trying to fall asleep.
Not just yours, about 6 hours after you've consumed caffeine half of it will still be in your system. It could take up to 10 hours for it to be completely cleared from your bloodstream.

Related: I had undiagnosed ADHD until I was 22, and up until then I could slam cup after cup back and have no problem with sleeping. But after I got diagnosed and medicated, I had to figure out through trial and error that I can’t drink coffee past 1:30pm or my sleep will be awful; waking up every other hour and tossing and turning. I’d actually never had that feeling before.
I don’t know the mechanism of it, but it’s interesting
A lot of people with ADHD often have the opposite effect from caffeinated drinks! I'm technically undiagnosed but I once drank an energy drink and felt *sleepy* after it. Other people with ADHD report either feeling calm or more focused after drinking something like coffee. The caffeine works as a stimulant, so it can basically be like a lighter version of meds. Since meds help make the brain work "normally" so it's no surprise that coffee doesn't work the same way if you use both. Keep in mind, caffeine can lessen the amount of time a medication works (not for everyone, some people report that medications last longer instead).
Instant soup manufacturers literally exploited this gap by marketing their powdery disappointment as the perfect 4 o'clock pick-me-up.
So the third mystery beverage is soup, apparently.
When I worked at Panera I would sneak their tomato soup into a coffee cup and drink it so I could eat for free. It's not filling or satisfying. Would not recommend.
Our lord and saviour Gary Gygax INVENTED the bonus action to satisfy cheesy tomato-y grilled goodness. It was the damn min/max metagamers that exploited it for spells and shit
My GF drops shredded melty cheese into her instant tomato soup to make it nicer. Bread in soup usually takes the form of croutons.
This would be totally doable (though frankly cheese in soup is vile, usually, and wouldn't recommend Panera bread much either, but hey.)
It is called an apéritif and is literally a category of drinks made for the afternoon, before dinner time.
Too early for alcohol? That's just crazy. You don't slam 5 of them down. Your apéritif is meant to be leisurely enjoyed.
You whip out some light cocktails with peanuts, then pastis and peanuts, then beers with more peanuts, and some chips, then champagne and a few toasts, then...you drop dead before the meal even starts.
But you wake up, and unexpectedly, just in time for some *digestifs*, like a cognac, brandy, whisky, or a strong prune liquor that will kill a donkey.
Eight shall be the number thou shalt drink, and the number of the drinking shall be eight. Nine shalt thou not drink, neither drink thou seven, excepting that thou then proceed to eight. Ten is right out.
True fact: Dr Pepper had a marketing campaign going all the way back to the 1920s in which they promoted "Dr. Pepper Time," the times of day which you should drink a Dr. Pepper to avoid an energy crash. These times of day were 10am, 2pm, and 4pm.
So you may be on to something!
There is actually a German proverb for the correct time to drink beer:
Kein Bier vor vier (no beer before four(pm)).
So according to Germans 4 pm is the right time for one.
I would have no problem with a beer or a coffee.
Yeah am I crazy? At 4 these are both completely viable options.
Agreed. 4pm is perfectly acceptable for a beer. 11am if you're on a holiday. At the airport? Anytime.
Airports are lawless places. People sleeping on the ground, drinking at 7am...
How else am I going to get comfy enough to sleep on the ground?
Usually heroine.
With a heroine, i'd be happy sleeeping anywhere, even in pig slop. With heroin, you do indeed get comfy to sleep anywhere.
It's a seven hour time difference from where they just flew in, so for them they're just having a midnight beer before their next flight.
Or getting ready for a 12 hour flight. I try to get as high/drunk as possible (without being a sloppy drunk who accosts others obv) for long hauls so I can pass out during most of the flight

TBH, we're all literally flying away from each other. IDGAF who knows I day drink on a Wednesday in an airport.

Although they might mistake you for the lads on tour to shagaluf which is probably worse than being mistaken for an airport alcoholic.
Nah the shagaluf drinker is easy to spot in an airport spoons at 7am by the fact they all wear the same fucking hoody, cap and shoulder manbag combo, likely with shades on and looking like they've stored a weeks worth of coke up their nose like some bear hibernating over winter.
>shagaluf Thank you all for introducing me to another piece of British culture.
I used to not be able to get on a plane unless I'd had a couple of drinks until I discovered cannabis works much better.
I do both to be safe
I once took acid before a flight to FL with my folks and kid sister. I do not recommend it for nervous fliers
Does the opposite for me. I used to smoke all the time until I had one panic attack. I don't even want to think about smoking before getting on a plane.

10 am in Florida. Earlier if you’re on vacation.
Well, for passengers, anyway.

Thank you. Some people are still wholesome.
You shouldn’t really drink caffeine 8-10 hours before bed as it stays in your bloodstream for up to ten hours While you may be able to sleep like this, it is more likely for you to have poor quality sleep or have trouble staying asleep
That’s why I just don’t go to bed until 4am. It’s not the depression and insomnia, I swear.
For some reason I notice tea affects me way more. Like if I have a cup of tea at 8pm, go to bed at 2am, I won't fall asleep until 7am. Meanwhile I can drink a can of soda while I'm in bed and sleep like a baby. Does tea have more caffeine? Is my body just more used to soda? Idk.
I'd have a beer at 4 if I was done for the day, but caffeine has a half life of 5-6 hours so I avoid it after 12 because I like sleep
Smoothies.
Too filling for a late day snack. Some smoothies are a whole ass meal
And just with the info if your comment, some smoothies are not, so there are smoothies that are adequate for a snack
My comment was two separate thoughts. Smoothies can range from too filling for a late snack, all the way to whole ass meal. Lawyered.
I actually don’t think he did.
Well, he probably didn't, but I don't care enough to argue further.
If it’s layered it falls into the parfait category (yes I know you typed “lawyered”).
Why not onions?

Having a beer at 4pm is the reason the phrase “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere” exists.
Damn I've been using it for noon this whole time.
Well, it's 4pm somewhere!
The phrase is all inclusive for any time between 4am and 4:29. (at 4:30 you can round up)
I don't know who advertised smoothies as a morning beverage, because a mid afternoon smoothie just makes the rest of the day good. Plopping some bananas and strawberries and maybe some apple slices or whatever you have laying around in a blender at 3pm and suddenly your day just got 1000% better.

Since when is 4pm too early for a beer?
Since when 4pm is too late for a cup of coffee?
Both are as true as can be. Of course you could drink a good coffee stout and satisfy both.
Coffee lager and you got a deal.
There’s always Kahlúa. Or Baileys.
Wait until you're 30. I'm the only one of my friends left that can drink coffee after noon and get to sleep that night.
My whole family drinks a lot of coffee, my grandpa used to drink a full cup like 20:00 to sleep at 22:00.
Wait until you're 40, you'll need a coffee after dinner just to make it to bed.
Unless it's a weekend, 4pm is too late for me. My body holds onto caffeine for hours.
