It's a bit early in the morning for that, isn't it?

In my intermediate class yesterday, introducing the use of second conditional structures:
Me: If we were in Rio right now, what would we do?
H: I'd be at an all night party
C: I'd be on the beach
A: I'd go to the carnival
V: I'd have sex on the beach.
cue laughter.
V: (Bright red face)I mean the cocktail! I mean the cocktail! It's very good!
Me: (Pause, dramatic look at watch)It's too early in the morning for either. At least you pronounced 'beach' correctly...
