Question to British Men: What's a completely pointless 'occasion' you've used to justify a beer?

Getting through a particularly pointless update meeting on Teams…it finished at 1400 this afternoon, plus the sun was out, plus I worked late most days last week.

Set my calendar to ‘internal training’ and walked over the road for a creamy fuckin’ pint.

Tuesday is one of the top 7 days to drink!

Callis_tow@reddit

Friday eve is definitely a cause for celebration (not a bloke. Us women don't need a reason for a small dry sherry)

Having a Guinness to replace iron “lost” whilst giving blood

I moved a box of beer from one room to another room to load up a fridge, so I had a beer to celebrate the achievement.

Woke up one Saturday in February. No plans, just recovery from a busy week. A visit to town was a payday away. The sky was the cold, grey clag that besets this island from time to time. A breakfast, coffee and poo failed to raise my spirits. Shortly after 11am the rain started; a cold fine rain that I know will last all day.

So I cracked open a beer a put a war movie on.

There was just one beer left in the fridge from the party the night before and I thought it looked silly … it was 9am …

I swear Wetherspoons and the bus company are in cahoots.

[-]

Rubberfootman@reddit

That’s a good one. I used to miss my bus on a Friday to have a park bench beer on my way home.

[-]

zzkj@reddit

An older woman did once ask if I was ok.

If you need a pointless occasion to justify having a beer you probably have a problem with drinking, and should proably reevaluate your relationship with alcohol.

If I fancy a beer, I'll drink a beer. I don't need an excuse or a reason to justify it

[-]

ScreamingEnglishman@reddit

Ooh, you're hard

[-]

Mr_Coastliner@reddit

Nah people with a drinking problem need a drink. However I don't because I have a drink. We're not the same.

[-]

GoldfieldHwang@reddit

you should reevaluate your relationship with having a bit of fun

samsaBEAR@reddit

Yeah I also hate injecting a little mirth into the usual mundane experience that is life

Why is this question limited to men lol. Are women not allowed a pointless beer every now and again too?

When my partner returns from wherever, I say it calls for a celebration - mine's a beer.

IllegalWalian@reddit

A walk to the supermarket to pick up a few bits is a handy excuse to stop for a pint on the way home.

[-]

arfski@reddit

My dad used to "give the car a rest" on a long journey by stopping off at the pub, and I'd get a Shandy Bass and a bag of cheese and onion to watch over it "resting".

One evening some years ago, I remember my Dad saying he was going to put the car away in the garage - it was already on the driveway. So he decided to do this via the pub. We had a heavy snowfall and so my Dad walked across the park in his wellies to the local pub, had 2 pints of beer then walked back and put the car away 🙂
