I’m day drinking on a Tuesday...

is that weird. Threw up some leave from work and stopped and a place on the way home. Funny thing is I used to make fun of the people by themselves drinking at the bar at a restaurant. Then became a dad of 3 and realized it was a sanctuary.

I've often had crazy days at work where I finally get a chance for 'lunch' around 3:30.

Usually results in beer and wings at BWW. Depending on how late I worked the previous night or how early I started that morning that just might be the end of the day.

No kidding, one of my favorite things in the world is to cut out of work early, not tell anyone, sit at a bar and have a couple of beers in complete silence.

Another trick that I use is picking up dinner to go for the fam at home. I say I called it in but wait to order at the bar when I get there.

You guys are Jedi's of the family life.

I liked every post in this thread so far. The picking up to-go and telling your wife "man, they took forever" is always a classic move. I have 3 boys at home, 3 to 13, it's a circus. It's pretty much implied that my wife knows if I'm running errands that I'm eventually sitting on a bar stool for at least 30-60 minutes before I come home. I think she prefers it, I come home a much happier person after I've got to actually hear myself think. There is no finer pleasure for my mid 30s self than sitting at a bar with a cold drink and just staring at a ball-game or the news channel in complete silence.

I have about 3 watering holes I rotate and frequent on my way home from work as well, just depends what I'm in the mood for and what their special is that day. If it's a rough day at the office it's the $5 boilermaker of Jameson and a 16 oz PBR.

You're such a throwback.

I dig it.

Why not.

I can be better at my job while drinking. Serious perk. I drink every Friday at lunch and some days between depending on the stress of advertising.

I’ve also worked on a ridiculous number of alcohol brands. So, it’s sort of accepted.

Heart this thread. Daddy coming home after a couple cocktails is best for everyone.
