The maintainence man is out spraying weed killer on the patches of green on the playground. The teachers assistant came out with two bottles of beer for him and his helper. They stood outside under the awning while they drank it.

It looked nice and cold.

I used to know a Danish brewmaster who'd usually start his day with an omelette, white asparagus with hollandaise sauce, and two beers (Danish of course). He lived well into his eighties

When travelling in many third world countries, beer was the breakfast beverage of choice. I dont like soda, and quite often the local water supply was risky. When I lived in Greece, I worked in construction. Every morning a woman would come out and bring coffee, biscuits and shots of ouzo.

Ah yes..my fellow teachers and I were forced to drink beer at that time the last day of classes before summer vacation with the principal...I thought beer o'clock was not until 12?

...oh well there was a large spread of tangsuyook, mandoo, and the sort...I was released 45 minutes later only to be called and sent to a minivan for a boraebap restaurant where I learned 12 is soju o'clock

...and once I was soundly driven back to school I was put in another vehicle at 4pm where I found out it is go to a mountain drink dondonju and maekoli while being forced to learn GOHSTUP! and losing all my chunnons
...9pm is Saengmaekju o'clock

....10 pm wife wants me dead o'clock...

Gotta love beer in the morning! I remember visiting my Thai friend's family in the Northeast of the country. They are farmers and rise early. It really isn't too easy to sleep in past eight, what with the roosters crowing and the old ladies yacking.

Got offered my first breakfast beer of my life (Chang, no less, for those who know that wicked concoction). Damn near drank them outa the stuff, all before 10 in the morning. Breakfast was sparse, just sticky rice and an assortment of super spicy Issan dishes. And beer.

Damn knackered I was! Beer in the morning...oh yeah.

But it's gotta be two beers (as with the above mentioned Danish guy -- and the omelette w/ hollandaise sauce bit was right on too). Just one beer will leave you feeling down and sluggish. Two will keep you going strong.

I was offered beer on a recent flight from Korea to Japan at 8 am. I was surprised but there were people around me happily consuming. Whatever works to wake you up.

Staying with a friend's family in Hungary once, her father came in to get me up one morning (farmers and early rising, what's the deal?) with two shots of hazi palinka (apricot and cherry). Both tasted exactly like everclear and I was wide awake after that.

No one here has done the 12 pints before 12 challenge then?? 18 pints later we were still going strong!!

I had two asahis before noon today. They were left over from the night before and I was leaving the motel, didn't want to waste them!

I've gotten in to the habit of drinking beer practically every night now. I mean it's so warm that's nothing seems as pleasurable as a nice cold beer ... ( well that's my excuse anyway ). Invariably I'll be watching a torrent movie to boot.

aahhh life ...
