Never had a beer in my life before noon... unless I was working midnight shift then the rules don't apply. Just something I picked up in the Navy, roomates all agreed fridge stayed padlocked 'til noon. Then anything was fair game.
 
Personally, i dont understand why you didnt start drinking when you started your smoke!! Isnt that the point of pulling an all nighter 18 hour smokeathon??? Im usually drunk by 8 in the morning and hung over before the meat comes off the smoker. (by the way,... EXCELLENT choice in beers!!!)

So if you had a beer anytime the previous 24 hours you technically did not start at 7:30. You can count that as a continuation of the other beer with a break in the middle

It might be a bit of a late start, but I'll let it slide :)

Back when I used to hunt geese alot, we'd always have a thermose of coffee in the blind and it was usually spiked with some peachtree, balieys, or kahlua, and that was around 6am.
 
As Tom in NC & Bear said; it's all relative. Nothing wrong with a beer in the morning if you've been up all night.

I've done it many times after a night shift.
 
You obviously have never worked graveyard shifts..... people give you nasty looks when you are getting off of work and walking into a bar at 8:00 AM... lol. My favorite breakfast was big pile of home fried potatos, sausage, two eggs over easy, and  pint of Deschutes Brewery Black Bute Porter..... mmmmmmm-mmmm-mmmmmmm!!!
 
The way I solved that problem when I was younger was to start at 7:00 PM and just never stop...

Now, THAT'S the breakfast of champions - or the champion of breakfasts...  and get me a side of biscuits and gravy, please, barkeeper.

Johnny,

I never had that 8 AM problem.

I worked swing shift for 19 1/2 years.

My "Night-shift" ended at 7 AM.

Never too early!!  I'm putting a couple Turks in the smoker for Thanksgiving at 5am ( and a 25 lber in the oven ) and plan to start the day accordingly!  Just have to pace myself as it's going to be a long day!

Happy Thanksgiving!
