...you calculate when to begin drinking based on the number of hours you've been awake, not a fixed time of day. For instance today, thanks to a gas-main fire that dragged my ass out of bed at five thirty this morning, cocktails shall begin promptly at 1:30pm.
However one may always choose begin at noon, or when the sun has safely passed the yardarm, or anytime you can state with assuredness that it is in fact night-time somewhere.
