How to Day Drink: The Definitive Guide

Despite sharing one of two total words, “day drinking” is actually nothing like “night drinking” (also referred to by some as “drinking”).

There are many unique considerations not encountered while Night Drinking. Let’s say you’re starting with brunch at 1pm, which means you’ll be pretending to enjoy your first gross mimosa (more like a mi-gross-a, amirite?!?! No, iamnotrite.) by 1:15pm. Now is the time to start thinking about the future. If you put yourself on the proper path to really getting to know a cheesesteak at 8pm or so, you’re looking good. But getting there the right way is critical.

Proper eating will be your buoy through the day and ensure you remain the kind of person others aren’t ashamed to be seen in public with, amidst all sorts of boring sober people who will spend their afternoons shopping for infinity scarves at Coldwater Creek.

The second is especially true if you are Sam Waterston.
