Drinking alcohol while eating a meal - anyone else unable to do this?

[dembethewarrior]

Excluding Xmas Dinner when I'll drink wine, I've never been able to have a pint with my meal when I go out for food. If I've ever ordered a lager because everyone else has I'll always drink it after my meal..

As a rule I can't usually eat once I've been out on the piss for a bit either, so even if we went for an Indian midway through the evening I'd not be able to drink alcohol whilst eating my food..
Anyone else unable to drink whilst eating?

Each to their own obviously, lager isn't great tasting anyway but I can't understand how some people can smash down 3 4 pints while eating, just spoils the food for me

Yup, totally agree. If i'm out on a sesh with the boys I have to eat first otherwise I won't eat at all.
Plenty of vitamins and minerals in beer :thumbup:

You don't have to order a lager just because everyone else has.

You are right, it's not peer pressure it's just a lazy mind following the flow. Doesn't happen often.

I stopped alcohol in 2009, but when I did drink, I couldn't do a pint with a meal.

I can drink 1 or 2 with a meal. I used to find if we went out for a meal, in say a gang of couples, then going for a drink after was hard work. Bloated from the grub.

I find that eating and drinking at the same time makes me prone to choking.


Seriously though, I've never had a problem with a glass of wine or a pint of ale (not fecking eskimo piss lager) with a meal.

I just can't seem to drink while I eat. Take a bite of something nice tasting then spoil it with a gulp of lager. I can drink before and after just don't like the taste while I eat.
