Morning/Daytime drunks...

flyton5

In the last few weeks I've noticed a lot of people wandering about drunk fairly early the morning and it's really starting to bug me. I've got no problem with people having a few pints in the evening but staggering about Rathfarnham/Terenure at 11am on a Monday or Tuesday is a bit much. It's not just scumbag types either.


Anyone else noticed the sudden surge in early morning drunk types?

Why does it bug you? Is it because you pay your taxes....etc. And how dare they drink with your money...

Clearly they are really enjoying themselves with it.

when i lived in athlone this was a normal occurrence, i remember at approx 9am in tesco one morning the guy in front of him reeked of booze and had 6 cans in his hand, that was 2003

Could be people who work shift, getting pissed from 7am onwards, when they're finished work for the first time all weekend.

Then again, could be alcholics.

Why let it bug you? Unless they're doing something directly to you.

Do you know what really pisses me off. Homeless people.

If its a Monday they may be pillheads who don't realise that it is already Monday.

I actually think the what else are they going to do on the dole comment is fairly on the money. Although it's probably just students.

Nah nothing like that. I'm not sure why it bugs me tbh...it just does. If it's their dole money then they're free to spend it on whatever, but maybe keep it indoors?

One lad stopped me to ask the time and he was fairly well spoken but certainly not of debs going age. Probably mid to late 30's? I understand that maybe in certain cases they're going through a rough patch or whatever but getting rat arsed at 11am and falling about the place isn't gonna help the situation now is it?

If he stays drinking that stuff you mightn't be seeing him for long more!

I worked nights in a hospital a few years back and i used to have a beer or two in the morning when i'd get home but I wasn't staggering about the place locked out've my mind first thing in the morning...

I love how its grand when students on government funded education get drunk in the afternoon but when homeless people and alcoholics do it we automatically assume these people are dole wasters who couldnt be arsed getting work. A form of undermensch.

The After Hours Troll

Who is the OP to judge hard working people? Free country n all.

By the way always wanted to be a morning drunk. Putting it on my to do list.

jimthemental

In fairness I have been pissed like that one or two mornings at work. The kids on the bus don't seem to notice though.

Maybe tell them that and they'll stop and straighten themselves out.

I'm a student, but I've never gone and gotten drunk in the morning/afternoon.

Sounds like a plan...but on second thoughts i'll just leave it at an observation...

Maybe they are looking for their cars after they got a Taxi home from the pub the previous night.
