When I saw the topic, my first thought was halibut. I think that if I knew it were my last night on this earth and I was offered a glass of wine with dinner, I might accept. My next thought is if wine isn't an option, I would want water with lemon. I'm early in recovery, so NOT thinking of drinking to oblivion is progress! Maybe with a few years of sobriety under my belt, my answer will change to a firm no?

Desperate times call for desperate measures?
I'll agree to the desperation. But that would be in a bad moment/mood, honestly my mental energy regarding any mealtime beverage is between none (I think I have my grandparents to thank for that, for some reason our family rarely drank anything while eating) or sweet tea and only after I finish eating

Straight up answer from where I am right now...
Yes ... I would have a good wine with a special meal, well paired. It is probably one of the really good things about drinking that I miss. Not about effect, but about flavor.
I know that isn't the wanted response, but it is my truth today. (not a god person).
I guess the real point is I don't have any indication that I will be eating my last meal today .... I may be around for a very long time (or maybe not). So drinking today in case it is my last meal is not something I need to consider.
Dying sober isn't my goal. Living sober is
Not sure why you asked the question, If it is just about playing a game, that would be sad. If you really are struggling with this, why you are asking might be a more enlightening post for you and other's

No, because I don't even WANT the feeling that I used to use alcohol to get. I don't want the false chemically induced "relaxation" Or being dizzy and out of control. And worse of all, when I drink a little it sets off a craving for more that is 100 times worse than if I have none.
Plus, I wouldn't even be able to taste the food, because most of it would be spilt down my jumper, cos I can't even aim food into a mouth as big as mine once Ive had a drink

Quite apart from the fact I never drank just one glass of wine...I expect I'd have a lot more pressing things to deal with - alcohol just isn't important to me anymore - it wouldn't even come up on the radar.

It is an interesting question...and truth be told we never really know what we will do in an extreme scenario!....
...I can't imagine that I would be thinking that much about food or wine.
My thoughts and actions would be to squeeze every last minute I can with my family.
