Brunch drinks, not weekday appropriate

I don't know about you, but my circadian-alcohol rhythm is skewed. I only realized this the other day when I was supposed to be having "drinks and cheese" with the in-laws during my "normal" working hours. Actually, my working hours seem to be 7.30 a.m to 11.30p.m, but that I know is just me. Anyhow, I was supposed to be having a glass of wine on a weekend evening, and dammit, I couldn't. I had about one sip, and that was that. I mean, I know that at 23 I'm not a good representative of my generation (I've been spending an unhealthy - for me - amount of time with people my age and I just don't GET that rabid fascination that they have about booze. I'm rabid about tasting wine, and understanding terroir, harvesting, maceration, fermentation, aging, pricing, oxidizing.... bla bla bla. I feel fifty or so when I say without thinking about who I'm talking to "I heard there's a new tequila being released, it's supposed to go very well with a chili con carne" and get blank stares like I'm an alien...)
Anyway. I digress. I can't drink when normal people drink. Which is almost seven days a week, by some new-fangled poll. I actually got quite depressed about this, I mean, what's the use of knowing the difference between a ketteridge and portlandian Chablis if you have to spit it out? But now I've figured it out. I'm a morning drinker. (Don't get worried just yet. I've never had a morning drink in my life) Because when you're working nights, the morning is the time you relax, right? I know they have "brunch drinks" State-side, so my question is when is this coming to Malmö?

Oh, hang on. That's never going to happen. Alcohol permits are issued from 11.30 a.m. So much for me having fun.
