During millions of years of evolution eating and drinking together
meant that people belonged to the same tribe. Drinking together is
beneficial for a group cohesion. It is in our culture and in our
genes.<br>
<br>
Certainly, if I go to a sport event people drink tea and water
there. I just wanted to say that at a large social gathering people
may have a choice what to drink without being conspicuous, without
imposing an agenda to others.<br>
