[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Related question: why don't many of you have other options in the house other than wine/beef, coffee/tea and water? Why don't you drink other types of beverages? Yes they're sugary and not healthy but how is this different than keeping cookies/pastries/cupcakes/ice cream in the house?[/quote] 1. We don't often keep those sugary foods in our house 2. There is a health difference - sugar in drinks is absorbed faster, and has a greater effect in spiking blood sugar. Sugar in a food is absorbed more slowly, esp if at the end of a meal 3. We just prefer eating sugar to drinking it. Its okay to have different preferences, and to do your own parties based on them (in fact when we have guests, we almost always have sparkling water, sometimes flavored sparkling water, not just still water, whether we serve wine or not) But it is not at all odd or rude to NOT have soda or juice at a formal dinner party.
