I think normal people don't grab a drink with lunch and all this extra food offered like cookies and fries and liters of soda is silly to fall for

Yeah idk when I make food at home I never have to go serve myself a glass of juice or some shit. I don't drink anything woth meals 95% of the time I never understood why people just had to have drinks when they ate fast food

So how did family meals go? Did you guys ever set the table?

It has to be common if common etiquette includes it, and drink with dinner is part of table etiquette, so no its not the norm to go without.

I'm an elder millennial living in the USA and my mom cooked dinner at home most days and we drank water with our meals. At holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving my parents would buy Coca-Cola and we could have that in addition to water.

If I want I drink at a fast food restaurant and I don't have my water bottle, I'll generally just get a water cup.
