As opposed to people who only drink wine with dinner.  That’s like saying “are you an alcoholic?”

The DC area seems to drink a lot of alcohol and just serving wine and water at a formal dinner shows how normalized it is.  Some people don’t like alcohol and that is ok.  Telling them the only other option is water is pushing alcohol in my opinion which is irresponsible when you have guests that are driving.

We always serve wine, water (sparking and still) and Italian sodas.  It truly is no big deal to keep a 6 pack in the house for guests who don’t drink but don’t want to be stuck just drinking water all night.[/quote]

This. Alcoholic drinks are really pushed here, and there are many people who can't drink for health reasons. It doesn't take too much time to have some mineral water, or some Italian sodaa / sparkling water available. And it seems much nicer for a dinner party than tap water.

I have a poor reaction to wine, my heart starts pounding after I drink it. So I have to drink something else.[/quote]
