Drunk by noon? Perfectly acceptable in Philly

PHILADELPHIA — In many places, drinking before noon is something to hide. Not in Philadelphia. The second annual Philly Beer Week has eight scheduled beer-drinking events before noon on Saturday.
For example, an event called "Lew Bryson's Wheat Beer Breakfast of Champions" begins at 9 a.m. Saturday at a tavern in Philadelphia's Tacony neighborhood. Later in the morning, there's an event called "Kegs and Eggs" at an Irish pub in the Old City historic district.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter used a ceremonial mallet dubbed the "Hammer of Glory" to kick off the event Friday night. He used it to open a keg Philadelphia-brewed Yards ESA. Earlier Friday, the mallet was carried Olympic-torch-style through various Philadelphia neighborhoods.
Hundreds of other events are planned through March 15.
That settles it. I'm headed to Philly. I'm sick and tired of these puritanical limitations that Odessa puts on my lifestyle. If God intended me to be sober by Noon why would liquor stores open at 10?
