Do you drink beer when eating out?

Question

One thing I've noticed is people will often order a beer with a meal when eating out, but at home, they'd usually go for a soft drink or perhaps a glass of wine.

I get the logic of beer, particularly with rice dishes, but I don't know anyone who drinks beer with food at home, only at a restaurant.

I don't hate beer but I'm not crazy about it. It's not a treat for me. My wife likes it more than I do and enjoys pale ale, hefeweizen, Asahi, Sapporo, Tsingtao, and Smithwicks.

About the only time I'll order a beer is when eating spicy Mexican or Thai food. Then I might enjoy a Modelo Negra, Asahi, Sapporo or Tsingtao.

And sometimes, if I'm in the mood, I'll have a pint or two of stout on tap at a pub.

Other than that, nah, I'd rather drink something else.

Cider for me when eating out, which isn't often and is almost always related to work.

Couldn't drink what I drink at home in any case... which is a combo of Apple & Elderflower juice, Red Bull, a bit of Orange Juice and Morgan's Spiced Rum (in order of decreasing quantity).

Men in my family drink sometimes beer at home to really fatty dishes like ham hock in sauerkraut or ham roast with dill-cream sauce. Personally I prefer white wine to rustic dishes instead of beer.

@purplepoppy  At home my husband will enjoy an occasional glass of beer with his meal. As I don't drink beer, I might have a glass of white wine with my meal

I'm here on Girls Ask Guys because I love diving into the world of food and drink, exploring various culinary experiences. When it comes to having a beer with my meals, it does depend on the setting and type of food. Eating out has its own vibe, doesn't it? There's something about the atmosphere of a restaurant or a pub that just makes a cold beer feel right, especially with certain dishes like a hearty burger or spicy wings. At home, I'm more likely to pair my meal with what I have on hand, which could be a soft drink, wine, or even water. But I won't deny, a beer at home with a homemade pizza or sushi night can elevate the experience. It's all about matching the drink with the meal’s flavors and your mood! 🍺🍕

No, I avoid beer at all cost. I don’t like the taste and it gives you belly. I prefer whiskey, wine or gin. Used to have beer and Vodka during my University time when I was out to the club with friends. Now I mostly have alcohol at home, especially when I cook meals like pasta, red meat, salmon or burger.

msmissydc · Answer

Currently having some Cider with my late dinner

usually it’s a glass of red wine, however I do have a lager with my meal at home now n then. Off for an Indian this weekend, the place is not licensed so need to take booze with us.

AviatorTom · Answer

That's mostly what I do. I rarely have a beer at home, but when we go out to dinner, I sometimes have a beer, like we did last Saturday. At home, I usually drink cold diet ginger tea, Gatorade or water... occasionally a glass of wine.

MacDaddyRico · Answer

I quit drinking 22 years ago, but when I did drink, I never ordered beer or alcohol when dining out.
I enjoyed my meals alcohol-free, even while others drank wine.
When I drank, it was to have fun. Which is the main reason I quit: I was having too much fun.

mstbooblover · Answer

There is something true in what you write. Indeed I drink often wine when eating my midday meal at home, but often strong beer at a restaurant.

Rarely, except with some kind of gourmet burger.

There are certain foods I'll go for a beer with at home, but generally I just drink water at home with meals. We keep some beer around, but definitely not enough to have beer with every meal.
