The evening/night is the worst possible time to drink alcohol.
I understand work schedules have dictated this but early to mid afternoon is the greatest time to drink. You are at peak awareness, high visibility, drinks just taste better under the sun, everything is open, you are farther away from the next morning's responsibilities to have to worry about them.
You'll have dinner and maybe your last drink around 6pm. Mildly sober by 10pm and you sleep through the hangover keeping your body clock in tact. #conversation
