Not really - I hear this in Britain all the time. 81.142.107.230 14:14, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Does this only work with "beer"? Perhaps there's an informal sense of "o'clock" just meaning "the time for something to happen". Equinox ◑ 19:12, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I think there's a general informal extended use of "o'clock"; for example, "stupid o'clock in the morning" and "ass o'clock in the morning" are both citeable (the former by a very wide margin), and "midnight o'clock", "lunch o'clock", and "dinner o'clock" all get some relevant b.g.c. hits. —Ruakh_TALK 19:27, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I've also heard "balls o'clock [in the morning]" for the range of times one is only up at if up very early or very late. A search of Google Books turns up only hilarious scannos for that, though. - -sche (discuss) 07:11, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

"Sex o'clock" has been used moderately often to describe a time when sex became prevalent or socially acceptable to discuss. Equinox ◑ 17:44, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

On Usenet I can also find "I think it will soon be gin o'clock, or at least, glass-of-wine o'clock!" - -sche (discuss) 07:19, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Beer o'clock and Wine o'clock references

In the Oxford English Dictionary since August 2015. - is there any way of linking these two terms in a group like the WP see also section? Thanks!
