Is drinking alcohol a day a little disreputable? There are many strong arguments for this. We wrote down the best.
by Theresa König
In Switzerland there is a real name for the dignified drink in the afternoon: “Aperó” is simply and beautifully called there. And, no, we don’t mean the can of beer on the park bench, but one or two (or even three) real alcoholic drinks: Prosecco, wine, Aperol Spritz. Why should you eat them at 2 p.m. instead of 4 a.m.? Here are a few benefits of day drinking:
1. Hangover? What is that?
No bullshit. Anyone who starts drinking at 1 p.m. will be sober by 11 p.m. Male cat? It doesn’t even come. Among other things, because of point 2.
2. The next morning you slept really well
Because you were in bed at 10 p.m. The party started early, so you can go to bed early. Eye rims? Pale complexion? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. After all, we didn’t stand around in a bar until the early hours of the morning.
3. The day is much funnier when you have a seat
Of course, we don’t mean EVERY day: But a little mica every now and then during the day can be a very entertaining filter for the madness of everyday life, which we can endure so much easier …
4. You actually manage to toast with your best friend
Let’s be honest: Aren’t we all always tired in the evening ?! Then now is the right time to invite your girlfriend and toast with a nice champagne. Luckily, it can also be done virtually. No matter why. The best thing about it: punctually at 8:15 p.m. we are on the couch.
5. Day drinking parties are the best
Have you ever spontaneously had a “Sex on the Beach” at 3.30 p.m. and danced with it? No? Then it’s about time. There is hardly anything funnier. Plus, a normal Tuesday feels like a birthday. The 25th
6. Going over the top really makes you want to go
As a grown woman (and possibly a mother) you just follow boring rules all day long. You have to let the fives go, let the pig out, hit the drum. We’ll never get together that young again. Especially for everyone who works part-time and has cursed it many times because the pension is small and you never get finished somewhere: Drinking Frangelico or RumChata in the living room is somehow cooler than in the office. Cheers to the “free” afternoon!
7. Drinking + eating = happiness
Incidentally, at aperitifs you don’t just drink, you also eat. And what could be better than an extra meal? Nothing. Except maybe an extra drink. That’s why we’re introducing exactly that today at 4 p.m. at the latest. Food plus alcohol – wonderful! Plus you don’t get drunk that easily. Cheers!
