Who still drinks with breakfast
 

Okay, very seldom. But yesterday I had breakfast at LHR and had a glass of champagne with my smoked salmon. It seemed like the thing to do. Just one glass, and none on the flight even though I was in business. But sometimes it really adds to the breakfast. I have also had champagne or other sparkling wines with espresso and breakfast. Not much of a Bloody Mary person in general, although at times I have them.

Any one else?

Do the same
 

Do the same at LHR T4 in a wonderful SkyTeam Lounge.

I always include Bloody Mary's when I have morning flights

also mimosas

Unless a boozy breakfast is the best part of your day, and if you treat the drink as a well-deserved indulgence, then I say go for it.

Seems like a waste not to.

Only when sitting up front.

Kalua and coffee or a mimosa please!

You do know about airport rules, right?

Off to LHR T5 now for some champagne and eggs Benedict in the BA F lounge. Come on by!

Beer and cold pizza.

Breakfast of Champions.;)

or somewhere else where its unlimited for free

hmm, ill have to try an irish coffee after brunch dessert at some point

2 or 3 times per year.

Every Labor Day weekend, Mrs Willie & I host a weekend party at our cabin in N Wisconsin. Bloody Marys are served each morning.

Then a couple times per year, Mrs Willie & I will dine at a Sunday brunch and have a mimosa or other "morning" breakfast drink. This is becoming rare as with the exception of Labor Day weekend, I just don't drink that much anymore.

Ahhh one-upping my "Who Still Drinks With Lunch?" thread are we? :D

I will but only while traveling. Mimosa, vodka with OJ, Cranberry with OJ, baileys, whiskey in my coffee...you name it! If I'm awake, if I'm in First/Business I'm drinking!

I had my nice breakfast champagne and saw your thread and well, I'm weak. ;)

I'll often do it when on vacation and somewhat less frequently when at home on the weekend if having a nice brunch with friends. Never to start a work day, even if it's free. I can enjoy a drink or two with lunch, but if I hit it in the morning my focus just isn't there for the work day.

As far as the actual morning drinks go, I like bloody marys, but only the first few sips. Just too heavy for me to enjoy a whole glass. Mimosas are ok but I don't like all the sugar. Give me vodka with a nice tart grapefruit juice, or some sugar free red bull!

Last breakfast at LHR T5 F Lounge started with a glass of champers, followed by a glass of Catena Malbec that went well with the back bacon, couple of bangers, a slice of black pudding and some white beans/tomato sauce. Even indulged in a second glass of the Malbec :)

Obviously, when on vacation. Other than that... Our annual British Open Saturday and Sunday get-together at a friend's house. And rest assured, it ain't no mimosas or Kaluha and coffee.

It would have to be a special occasion, like a football saturday in Lincoln,Ne, for an 11am game.

I did my undergrad at Arizona State and I remember stopping at a Safeway to pick up a newspaper at 7:30 AM on a gameday and students started drinking from the 30 packs they'd just bought right in the parking lot of the grocery store :eek:

Of course. Drink early, drink often, drink from the top shelf down.

I thought everybody did

On occasion:

• When travelling on holidays, the holiday starts at the airport
• On Sundays, a bloody Mary or a pint (depending on how late I roll out of bed)
• If the day looks especially bad, a shot to calm the nerves.

What was that first step again?

This might be one of those charming cultural variations that make life, especially visits down under, so enjoyable. :)

Sometimes, this harms no one ;)

On holidays or week end, this is really pleasant

I was going to make some smart arse reply but I might rise above it, go to the fridge and get another wine, and let it go

One of my holiday time student jobs was at a very smart wine merchants in London. It still sold Champagne in pint bottles - apparently this was very common in the earlier part of the 20th Century but, by the time I was there in the 70s, it was down to just Bollinger (IIRC) who bottled in this way.

The legend went that a husband and wife found a bottle too much for breakfast and a half bottle too little. A pint was perfect!

Found these pics in my trip report for a trip I took last year to Nicaragua :D

A little screwdriver with my tasteless pastry at 6 AM

A good way to start the day ;)

A couple times a year. Champagne, mimosa or bloody mary are all acceptable. I couldn't get used to a beer with breakfast although on vacation I seldom wait until noon.

A couple years ago, I spotted a sign at a Pensacola restaurant advertising "bottomless champagne". Imagine my disappointment when I discovered they were just referring to the glass. They paid for it in champagne, I tell you! I bet we sat there getting refilled every 15 minutes for 3 hours.

Reading your post makes other aspects of *bottomless* come to my mind ;)

But now for something completely different, my half-empty glass of Taittinger need some help before getting refilled

Completely agree!! :) :)

I do. Even if I am NOT on vacation. Just this weekend I had a bloody marry with my late breakfast.

Beeing late out getting out of Hilton Docklands, decided to down prio breakfast. Check-in, security was a whim, as 14 minutes after entering LCY, I found myself with a glass of Taittinger in the LCY gate/lounge 24.

Is there a need for another thread "Who still drinks before breakfast?"
:p

We may also need "Who still drinks their breakfast?" :D

I'll drink Bloody Marys for breakfast if I am hungover from the night before. My best girlfriend is from Australia. I'll be seeing her for Christmas. So I'll be drinking every morning, afternoon and evening with her. I do like Sunday brunches. A good Mimosa, makes a good start! But a cold winter day morning sometimes calls for Rum and hot chocolate. So yummy,but dangerous.
