As I get older I enjoy day drinking more and more and less staying up late to beer and whiskey guzzle. Do all you old farts find the same thing as you aged? Who wants to stay up till midnight or later? Have some afternoon drinks and fall asleep at a decent time. Who is with me?

Bottle of red and asleep by 10pm. That is my normal routine. 6am comes a lot earlier than it used to.

Agree with the above plus I like to enjoy the day at hand rather than recover from the night before.

I don't mind a beer or 12 and a bottle of whiskey once in a while.

With you 100%. I've always been that way. Hell, when I met my wife and she wanted to go bar hopping I would start drinking at 6:00pm and be ready to pass out by 10:00pm. Her and her friends would START at 11:00pm... We had some things to get use to (meaning "I" had things to get use to).
I tend to run in the afternoon and drink a beer or two for recovery. That might lead to more if I have manual labor to do around the house for the evening.

I don't even enjoy drinking hard in the evening anymore. If I have 2 beers in the evening during the week, I feel like shit the next day. I can have 16 on a saturday and spring outta bed on sunday if I turn in at a decent time. I don't get it. Now a stroll through the property on the wheeler with a six pack... nothing better.

Back in the 70's and 80's I worked construction with a guy that drank all day every day, never stopped. We would leave the shop in the morning with the big truck and bobcat, drive right to pearsons saloon because the guys would sell him a box of special X at 7am every morning before the place opened. This guy would drink the whole 24 pack while we worked a 10 hour day. Then we would head back to the shop and he would shower up, head to pearsons saloon and close the place down. Every day, the same thing. He was a professional drinker and could out work two guys all day. That is why the owner put up with it. He died at age 46, towards the end he was drinking Mennen skin bracer if he ran out of beer. Not good......

I'm almost always done drinking by 9, 10 at the very latest...and never anywhere but home. We'll go out and have some beers during the weekend days, but I get my ass home well before dark.

Some of the smarted and hardest working guys I've know were what I called functional alcoholics. Very much like the guy you describe. In college my teammates called me a "drinker with a running problem", but I've never had a desire to drink like that.

This ^^^
Nothing like an atv ride around the block with a couple cold ones. Another reason I like where my land is. I can get away with just about anything like that.

As I got older I switched to quality vs quantity.

I also worked construction in the late 70's early 80's building barns and pole sheds. When we went out of town to work it was beer from 9 am till bed time. Come home and party Friday and Saturday night, sleep all day Sunday and do it again next week. God i wish i had the $$$$$$$$ I pissed away.
