Sometimes getting the kids out the door is the hardest thing in the entire world. That is a very carefully worded sentence.

If you live by the rule "never drink til the sun is up over the yardarm", you'll be fine. Given that the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere on the planet , 7:44 looks to be fine. Proceed and be well.
Yardarm - The yardarms on a sailing ship are the horizontal timbers or spars mounted on the masts, from which the square sails are hung. (The word yard here is from an old Germanic word for a pointed stick, the source also of our unit of measurement.) At certain times of year it will seem from the deck that the sun has risen far enough up the sky that it is above the topmost yardarm. In summer in the north Atlantic, where the phrase seems to have originated, this would have been at about 11am. This was by custom and rule the time of the first rum issue of the day to officers and men (the officers had their tots neat, the men’s diluted). It seems that officers in sailing ships adopted a custom, even when on shore, of waiting until this time before taking their first alcoholic drink of the day.

Breakfast of Champions. Jack D. has nailed it . The drinking lamp is lit somewhere. After all isn't it "We are the world?"
I remember a story that a guy said he took care of his wife's breakfast. He would light her cigarette and fix her Bloody Mary.

Kegs and eggs ... the breakfast of champions.

Dean Martin: "I never learned to golf because I never had a problem with drinking in the morning. If you wake up in the morning and that is the best you are going to feel then drinking makes sense."
A way underrated singer. His TV show was hilarious. His hookup with Jerry Lewis was wrong.

Too early to start? Pehaps, but the way things go sometimes it might actually be too late to stop.

After reading this morning's news, I would say not.
