When is it appropriate to order a Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA at 10am on a Monday morning?

You're damn right, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

I'm drinking beer right now.

It's always appropriate, you stuck up buffoon. He was practicing his right to enjoy a beer whenever he pleases since this is mother f*cking America.

In fact, it's only 8:45am and I'm going to crack one right now.....both in his honor, and out of spite for you.

Dude, you're the man! I'd have cracked one open with you if I saw this on time.

Typical Americans. So worried about other people that they never notice how effed up they are. I work 4 days on, 4 days off. 48 hours each and every week. Sometimes my weekend happens to be Monday at 10am! **cracks one open on Thirsty Thursday @ 11:24am**

He could well be on vacation and just kicking back.

This was my immediate thought.

Anyway, what does someone who just finished work "look like"? All kinds of people work night shifts. Dude could be a physician who just finished his 7th straight 12 hour shift and wants to kick back and relax for a bit.

This. I used to often work a 12am-8am emergency room shift and would have a nice slow breakfast afterward. Given that I had just had a full work "day" and was on the way home for a "night's" sleep, a beer made more sense than coffee. Kind of cool to do at 9am when the normal rhythm of a weekday is in full swing. I would usually be in pretty "normal" clothes for a 30-something male, so I hope no judgey guys like the OP were getting their blood pressure up about it.

I was at a restaurant on Monday where a normal looking mid-20-something year old guy ordered a Dogfish Head 90 IPA for breakfast. He did not look like a college student with afternoon classes, a professional taking an early lunch, or a third shift laborer who just got off work. He also did not look like an alcoholic. I just could not dream up a situation where an IPA with a 9.0 ABV would be appropriate for a Monday morning.

What are your guesses? What was this guy up to?

Dude is a straight-up alcoholic. EOT.

Mardi Gras

You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning.

What was he up to? Sounds like he was enjoying a delicious IPA.

Hair of the dog would be the only excuse.

We still don't know if he had a beard, but...

YEAH, BEST THREAD EVER...

Well, besides early in the Kip Litton thread.

I'd say after the Rehobeth Beach Marathon, at the Dogfish Head Pub, but at 9:29 AM when I finish...

Yes I read the original post. That's how I know how stupid the idea of him being a surgeon is. How many mid-20's surgeons are rolling around your town? Quit back pedaling. You thought it would be a cool thread, and it backfired in your face.

You have a pretty unique view of the world. You may need to find this beer for yourself, whatever the hour.

Unique view of the world? Maybe. If knowing that surgeons aren't mid 20's is unique then yes. If thinking you're a F'ing idiot is unique then yes. Reading the rest of this thread, I don't believe my views are unique in any way.

Not everyone has a 9-5 M-F schedule.

Monday is my Sunday, if I'm up and out for breakfast on Monday, sure as shit I'll get a beer. I'd go for a Furious, but that is just me.

at 10am on a monday morning

In the NYPD, one day is divided into three 8-hour and 35-minute shifts: 11:15 PM to 7:50 AM (called a 12 to 8), 7:05 AM to 3:40 PM (called an 8 to 4) and 3:00 PM to 11:35 PM (called a 4 to 12). Officers work 5 of these shifts per week.

Does OSHA or AMA know about these surgeons working in these states of sleep deprivation ?

Unless he's a saw bonz on a battlefield in Gettysburgh , i'd rather him not operate on me .

You are too much. Thanks for participating in the discussion. Cheers.

Anyone who follows the traditional medical education process becomes a physician during their mid-20s. Any hospital with a surgical residency program will have a bunch of surgeons who are in their 20s.

Probably some government contractor billing the government for working on a project at twice the labor rate of an equally skilled government employee since he is drinking and thinking about work. I'm sure it will result in a change order requesting more labor funding to complete the work.
