Sorry I'm not sorry but I like to have a few while I brew! It's part of the fun!
I start my brew days around 6am, helps cut back on the drinking!
When it comes to that, there are no rules...
When I'm doing a winter brew and I'm outside in the low teens, beer is 'mandatory' while I brew..
But I generally have everything all measured out and ready to go and am well used to the routine...
Seeing as I haven't brewed in quite a while, my first couple of brews with the new system will largely be sober until near the end.... But once I get comfortable again so that it is routine... all bets are off...
80's hair band metal is also mandatory while I brew.. always!

I guess I better not post any personal admissions to this thread.
Carry on.
I definitely drink beer on brew days, but I dont find theres enough time to drink enough to get sloppy, even if that were a goal.
When my wife got home, the 100 bottles were conditioning on the shelf in the basement, 10 gallons of new beer were in the fermentation chamber, the garage was cleaned up, and I was carving the meat. Phew!

I usually get my mash going and then parcel out the hops I'm gonna use in the boil. When I all the ingredients measured and set up and the mash is working, I'll make sure my fermenter is sanitized and everything I need to transfer the wort. After all that I'll crack one(next brew I'll be pulling one from my keezer) and relax. If I can't drink a couple of brews during the process, then I might as well just buy it....
Yeah, I don't find I have enough time to get in drinking trouble on brew day either. But I certainly don't have time to juggle all of your activities. You are one busy guy. I'm trying to move to kegging so perhaps I could keg a batch while mashing or boiling.
