[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A very thin friend in her 60s wanted to share a single bottle of wine among ourselves and our spouses. I had to tell her that my husband and I drink a bottle ourselves three or four times a month. A bottle is 5 glasses, and 2.5 glasses consumed in 2.5 hours over a nice meal per person doesn’t seem like a lot to me (but we don’t drink at all during the week).[/quote]

Why did you "have to tell her" how much you and your DH drink? Why couldn't you just share the bottle with her like she suggested? Be flexible sometimes. Especially when it's in your best interest health wise.[/quote]

Because I wanted more than a glass of wine with my dinner. [/quote]

You could have handled it more tactfully by saying "Sure, let's start with that!" A waiter would have asked if you wanted more. Or just stuck to one glass of wine that night. [/quote]

Why shouldn’t I do what I want? It’s not tactful to suggest she and her husband should each get a glass of wine instead of sharing our bottle? [/quote]

No, it’s tactful to defer to the older person. [/quote]
