Eating and Drinking
Holiday schedules allow for flexibility, so starting an early drink is perfectly acceptable as long as you remain polite and considerate of others.
Hot weather can change social schedules, but pacing yourself or opting for non-alcoholic isotonic beers can prevent peaking too early in the heat.
Unless told otherwise, the volume of food you bring to a potluck gathering should correspond directly with your group's adult headcount.
Hosts can tactfully redirect the guest by stating that main courses are already covered and asking them to bring a bottle of wine instead.
Picnic contributions meant for sharing should be unopened, fresh, and easy to eat, and all shared items should be placed in the middle for everyone.
Customers can request ice, but be aware it dilutes flavors and flattens carbonated beverages like beer, and adding extra ice to a mixed cocktail should be avoided.
Hot weather can worsen food odors, so you should avoid eating smelly items in confined public spaces like buses or trains.
