    Ugh, its 1am. Do I crack open the wine and drink it all, or save it for a better opportunity? Or go down to the corner and buy a six pack?

Sunday night drinking
Drinking on Sunday nights is like drinking alone: it can be sad or it can be perfectly fine.

"Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee.com is back for another round! The whole month of February, we're serving up intoxicatingly fun bars and club articles -- including guides, unique features, drink recipes and more. Grab a designated driver and dive in!

I go back and forth about drinking alcohol on Sunday nights. It seems like the ideal time to enjoy a glass of wine or a beer because it symbolizes one last hurrah and gives closure to the weekend whether it was fabulous or a complete flop.

On the other hand, if I've already consumed beverages on Friday and / or Saturday night, drinking on Sunday evening seems excessive. Even though, chances are, I won't drink much – or anything at all – during the week.

Obviously, I'm one of those people who keeps score when it comes to imbibing. Maybe we all are? Personally, I like to drink alcohol and therefore recognize the need to keep myself in check.

Maybe this is what I'm really writing about: not whether drinking on a Sunday night is right or wrong, but the fact that fans of the strong drink need to occasionally question our indulging and make rules to keep ourselves in line. Like, I rarely do it two nights in a row, I don't mix beverages and I drink a lot of water if I am having a big night out.

But I haven't made a hard-and-fast call on Sunday nights.

Hence, even though there's a Guinness in the fridge literally calling my name -- in Gaelic, none the less -- I'm not sure if I should indulge. After all, I did knock back a couple of love potions last night.

I never saw the point of drinking on Sunday when you have an early Monday morning when you have to haul it into work, if you are a 1st shifter. However if you work 2nd shift, Sunday can be considered a bonus night, and I have heard the term "Sunday Funday" among this group that likes to go out on this day.
