So I plan on having a really good time when I go to Bonnaroo, which means Ill be consuming some alcohol..but dont want to make myself sick or what not.. I plan on drinking ALOT of water, powerade, etc. during the night but at night I plan on getting my drink on!! I figured I'd start about 6 p.m. Just wondering..What time everyone else usually starts throwin' em back!!??!!
I start with beer right after breakfest or as soon as the Brewers Tent opens. I learned my lessons though and dont switch to hard liquor until after the headliners start otherwise I fall asleep before the shows are over.
I sip whiskey all day but save the hard drinking 'til night time. Drinking whiskey allows me to chase with water, staying hydrated while maintaining a nice buzz all day.

I drink tequila and bourbon throughout the day, heavily interspersed with water and Powerade. I keep a ratio of one drink to 2-3 waters/ades, but may tip the ratio slightly toward liquor as the sun goes down depending on what else is going on.
Hmmm - not much drinkin going on in our camp - 1st year - we brought a case of beer - drank 2 beers the entire time - last year I think we brought a 6-pack - never touched it
may bring another 6 pack this year - but prolly will not drink any of it - drink lots and lots of water tho
i party down thursday as soon as we arrive (usually mid-afternoon to evening)
friday and saturday usually don't see much drinking... a few beers around 4PM or so... more as the night goes on depending on what else is going inside my head
sunday i get sloshed drunk. try to finish the beer in the cooler, but still start around 4 PM
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
I'd advise waiting to get thy swerve on. I don't usually set foot into the Crunk Tub (trademarked, by me) until right before nightfall, if you have enough time... Hell, I love to drink, but I didn't even get drunk at Roo last year... way to much going on to get stupid.

I'd just like to clarify. When I say I start drinking after lunch, I don't mean I'm chugging beers and shooting liquor all day. I'm pretty good at pacing myself, and my goal is not getting drunk, but just maintaining a constant buzz and still being able (usually) to remember most of the shows I saw the next day. And though I didn't mention it, I am constantly drinking water as well.

I'm definitely not there to get shwasted all day, but walking around the campsite before the sun hits the high point i like to have a couple (chased with water) and once the late afternoon hits. I remember last year during the roots it seemed like all i wanted was a refreshing brew, and low and behold one of the rolling beer carts parked directly next to me. Definitely never neglect your water/juices/'ades' intake.

I don't start until right around headliner time.. :]
ditto
Sun goes down completely, and I've relaxed all day ready to go all night. Its become a tradition for my buddy and I to pregame before the headliner each night.

I didnt drink at all last year also, I take my chances with steveO in the 4th dimension
HAHAHAHA
i bring a substantial amount of whiskey and beer but it's usually.... thursday= moderate corn intake and a few dozen sips from the flask make for a succesfull thursday, while adjusting to the awesomeness of Roo. friday= early morning corn, a hearty meal, stay hydrated and conserve my energy for the late afternoon and partake in a cornocopia of other things because it's 4th demention time by then suplemented with mo corn and mo whiskey. Saturday= see friday^+ mo whiskey and beer + less sleep. Sunday= super sunday drinkathon starting at dawn + more corn of course as i leave with an unwashable smile on my face ;D

i always drank in the evening as the sun was going down. but i did make the mistake of getting dehydrated one afternoon, and instead of drinking water i drank bourbon. bad choice. i was stumbling around centeroo the rest of the night.
I tend to stay away from liquor completely at Roo. Sometimes I'll have a beer when I make the trek into centeroo. Then maybe a couple more after the sun goes down..I just don't have much desire for getting drunk at Roo. I prefer other recreational activities while on the farm.

OK i feel like I'm missing something with the "corn", i know the naiveity seems juvenile but that's a term I've heard unless your referring to actual corn..hahah
I don't think I really stopped drinking all weekend last year. That's not to say I didn't crush some water though. But yeah, once we parked the cars first thing we did was crack open a can of beer.
Just be smart about it, y'know? If you're drinking alcohol remember you need to drink EXTRA water.

corn is never bad. My friend pased out last year and the medics were sccreaming at her..."HAVE YOU HAD ANY CORN???"
and she was like, "duh.".
and they told her that was why she passed out.
NO stupids, she passed out because it's a 100 degrees out here and we are standing shoulder to shoulder trying to get in the gates and she weighs 110lbs....same reason 20 other people just passed out.
She believed them and now she no longer noms. pppfffllltt!
as for alcohol....the rest of this thread is right. Wait till the headliner. Until it starts to cool down some, even the thought of drinking will make you throw up.

Ya know the guy that you see falling down probably weed himself and looking through you not at you? Well thanks to a very tough seperation with an ex(that still hurts to think about) thats how I spent roo 04 and roo 06. This year I've got a georgeous woman who diggs me for me, so this will be the first roo I'll have more than a blurred memory, so I intend to make the most of it by getting my buzz from watching , guiding letting her experience all she wants of "life, liberty, eternal happiness". So I can say that drinking will be considerably cut to late in the day if at all way to much to see and do to be that retarded.

Depends on the schedule . . . but I make it a point not to start drinking before 4 or so. Most nights I don't start until the time between the day shows and the headliner.
Actually, the only time that I drank last year was during the day... I'd have one or two of those specialty beers (Oskar?) a day.
I was much more into the corn and corn oil, aaaaalllll the time... and a little fungus at Police and Flips/Mule... and a couple of beans during Tool/Superjam/DJ Shadow....
A pretty big step down from the previous year... lol.
I'm slowing down with the partying, it's about time.... been a hard partier for almost 5 years, kinda hard on the body.
I figured I'd start about 6 p.m. Just wondering..What time everyone else usually starts throwin' em back!!??!!
