Or maybe the food is bad tasting. This has always been my issue with
people (so many of them) that drink wine with a meal. I like a glass
or two of wine and I'll also "blow the froth off a couple of beers"
occasionally but I would never ever consider combining adult beverages
with a good meal. They are two separate events imo. I drink water
with my meals.
