Daylight Drinking

I love my drinks and will happily indulge in them when offered. But there's one thing about it that I cannot understand....how do you drink alcoholic beverages during the day and not collapse? Or function? Or not fall asleep? Or dance your booty off in the middle of work? I don't know, man. There was this bunch of ah-peks (elderly gentlemen) sitting around in a Chinese restaurant yesterday and I was observing them chatting, playing cards and drinking their Tiger Beer. The chatting were a little too loud and they were flicking cigarette ashes into someone's dog's food nearby. Sure....they're having fun but for crissakes, it's three thirty in the afternoon!! Hhhhmmm.....I think, in a lot of ways, the perspective is different and the demands are different for them. What else is there to do (for them) apart from loiter around and just minggling with people their age. They probably don't work (DUH!!) and have nowhere else to go, anyway, so, if they get really pissed drunk, they can stagger home (it's a condo) and zzzzzzzzzzzz...... I've tried drinking when the sun was up before. Not fun. It was alright in air-conditioned atmosphere. But when time came to walk back to the office....yes, IN THE SUN.....oh, boy.....my eyeballs exploded and remnants of my retina and eyes smashed into the back of my skull!! Gross.... ....but that's what I feel about drinking during daylight hours. No, thanks. Not even if it's wine. Not even for a million bucks.
