I knew a well known chef that worked at a lot of these venues the people buying alcohol were upper middle class businessmen. High society doesn't really drink. Especially at social events. It was a surprise to me when he took me with him as a kid.

I can +1 this.

I can't add anything more besides: having more than a few sips with food is already too extreme for upper crust sensibilities.

Everything in moderation makes everything well tolerated.
