A lot of people have the belief that if they don't drink alcohol until after 12 noon, then they don't have a drinking problem. (Someone who wakes up at 9AM and has a shot of whiskey might be considered an alcoholic.) Anyway, Fache has been up all night, so even though it's early morning, to him it's still technically evening (because he hasn't been to bed), so it's acceptable to have an alcoholic drink.
