Why not have other drinks? Many people don't drink beer/wine, coffee/tea and would like something more tasty than water.

I mean, if I’m going through the trouble off throwing a nice dinner party with beautiful food, I’m not expecting to have to serve people Code Red Mountain Dew, but there’s probably a 7 Eleven you could stop at on the way home

Or you'd realize that not everyone drinks and could be a thoughtful host. Sounds like that is not you - thoughtful or a host.

Still or sparkling?

Most hosts serve beverages that compliment the food. Hence wine, water or seltzer. Truthfully I don’t know many people who drink soda, lemonade or iced tea at meals. Flavored drinks just aren’t meant for meals.

Complement. Learn the difference between compliment and complement.

I love that someone bumped this old ass thread, and the so-called classy people are still out in full force. Even threw in the old reliable "are you overweight?" for good measure.

Things really don't change around here.

Time for me to grab an ice-cold, crispy DC (that's Diet Coke to you non-plebes).

Are you popular at dinner parties?

I'm fine. Most people I know are aware of the cancer risks. It's not a secret!
