[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do the must have only wine with nice day dinner say to Morman or Muslim guests who don't drink?  Or do you not invite them?[/quote]
I offer them still or sparkling water.  [/quote]

Don't Mormons not drink soda? What do Muslims drink with every meal? Soda? Lemonade?

I'm shocked by this thread because I thought most people drank water at dinner (if not drinking alcoholic beverages)[/quote]

My wife and I (not  big drinkers nor teatotalers) usually have water or sparkling water with dinner - coffee with breakfast.   Often milk with the foods it matches best with.   We seldom drink soda anymore.  We used to have more juice around when kids were young.

My sense is that the etiquette for a BBQ, group picnic, informal community dinner, etc is to have at least one non alcoholic drink other than water (personally I get mildly bannoyed at such events when there is either no non sugary offering other than water, or when its an evening event, and there is no offering other than water that is both sugar free and caffeine free)

But for a formal dinner, I think the etiquette is wine, and water, and that's it.

Not serving water seems odd to me though. [/quote]
