So as I'm brewing up a 5 gallon all grain classic American Pilsner. My wife walks in as I'm cracking open homebrew. She said " God, drinking beer at 10am, you've got a problem". I figure, brewing beer = drinking beer. Any one else get this from the wife?
I'm just glad she didn't notice the beer I was drinking at 9. Hhahaa
That's the definition of a problem at my house. If you need to hide it, you shouldn't be doing it. We decided that a long time ago.
Now, as far as undercover secret public drinking goes, that's a whole different story.
put your pour in a measuring cup then it looks like a sample
I went fishing on Lake Ontario a few weeks back.
Boat left the dock at 6:30. Beers were being consumed by all at 7:00.
Seemed perfectly normal to me.
College football - WVU game - might have to start at 8 or so...
Morning brew days I usually start coffee + Baileys and then move to beers.

No wife here, but I don't really ever drink before noon. On weekends, I'm usually in bed until 9:30 or 10...sometimes earlier, sometimes later, but I don't usually feel like drinking beer until later. Sometimes on Saturdays I'll have one around noon. But I feel if I drink too early, I want to either keep going or it makes me too tired and ruins my ambition for the day.
Being a Northeast boy, I haven't heard of snit before. Love that!Since it's before noon, the following logic applies:
Bloody mary + snit => Acceptable (problem solved)
For those of you who don't live in the upper midwest:

I don't consider drinking all the time a problem as long as I'm not drunk all the time. I'll have 3 or 4 beers each day, but those could be any time, dispersed throughout the day or clustered all at once. Sometimes this means drinks out with friends and getting a little wild after work. Sometimes that means pre-work shower beer, coming home at lunch and having a beer, and having one with dinner. Don't need to be at work early? Well, that means I can have a coffee chocolate stout with a big breakfast. Or a hoppy saison after a hot morning out cycling. Camping means morning DIPA. Overall, morning beer isn't very common but there are a lot of different times that morning beer is awesome.
