Ask HN: Is the statement "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" always factual?

Of course there is the song, and a wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Five_O%27Clock_Somewhere

But, what if it is 14:02 in Mumbai? And what about our whole notion of time being a good deal fabricated? Does "somewhere" include other universes, and would 5 o'clock in another universe be included in somewhere? Could somewhere also include a black hole in our universe where what we might call 5 o'clock exists even though it is 8:49 in Toulouse?

Is or isn't this statement (often) factually incorrect?
