[quote=Anonymous]I would think they're so accustomed to it, they need to drink at a certain time or else they get a mini-withdrawal and get really crabby. My grandpa was like that. Got antsy around 4:30 every day. I also agree they want you to join because it validates them. But they might also want you to sit with them for social reasons. Sometimes seeing the hostess constantly working is stressful for guests-- they'd rather pretend it's not that much work for you to host them. Cocktail hour is also a way that the elderly can avoid doing activities late in the afternoon, when they are tired. And it's a way to get the grandchildren to leave them alone. Do you not see the appeal?[/quote]
