Stop the drama, OP.


This thread is from 2018. OP probably figured out the beverage situation in the last half-decade.

This thread got resurrected because there is a current discussion over in the DCUM travel forum about bad hosts and bad guests that some have said needs to go down in history as one of those best threads ever of DCUM. Then of course someone else asked about what other famous threads are on the site. "Boring water" is one of DCUM's finest, so it got resurrected for neophytes to enjoy.

My friends are not observant.

Mormons don't drink most of these other things like tea or soda anyway due to caffeine.


Mormons LOVE soda! They can have caffeine. They cannot have HOT drinks like coffee or tea.

This is so strange. Even at restaurants they serve water with wine.

There's always water. Go to the kitchen and fill your glass. It's not hard.

And, if someone ever asks me for water, I respond: “Sure! Tap or bottled? Or, can I offer you something else? I have x, y or z.”

It’s weird to just serve wine.

Not really. We might have a pre-dinner cocktail; otherwise it's wine and water (sparkling or still). And I've been to lots and lots of dinners that were the same. It's not a restaurant.

It's nice to have options but water is also fine.
Just ask for it!

Omg cracked me up.

Obviously not offering water was an oversight. It's asking a lot of the host to have all sorts of other options available too though.

OMG, I'm the PP on the other thread who wanted to know who the "boring water" poster was and why they went down in DCUM history. Thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever resurrected it for me, this is pure gold. Lololololol for hours that someone expects a dinner party hostess to throw some lemonade on the table. This is amazing.

If you feed Coca-Cola to a child you're terrible adult.
