[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just want to say thanks to those that offer still water as well as sparkling.  I can't stand sparkling water (and I happen to not drink wine).[/quote]

If you don’t want sparkling, walk to the sink and fill up your glass.  You people are so helpless.  Why dirty a pitcher for tap water!?![/quote]

I know plenty of hosts who would be horrified by someone leaving the table and helping themselves from the kitchen.  Besides which,

I don't have a problem with a nice picture of iced water on the table with some lemon slices or something.  I don't think there needs to be more than that. But the idea that the host should spend lots of money on wine, but shouldn't be asked to run a pitcher through the dishwasher for the someone who doesn't or can't drink is a little strange.

I also think fat shaming someone for a glass of juice, when wine has twice the calories of orange juice, is absurd.  [/quote]

If your friends are horrified if someone gets a glass of water, you need new friends.  That can’t be fun for you or them.

I put out pitchers of water but to think water is not available unles it is in a pitcher on the table is stuffy and weird to the point of bizarre.  No one is fat shaming anyone.  But I don’t think of juice as an adult beverage at dinner (brunch, of course it I should normal to offer it).[/quote]
