Rita Mae Brown:

What I do love is having tea with a friend.  Because I want to know what people think and feel, I like intimate gatherings.  Teatime is my favorite time of day, the best time to see people.  Also, since I don't drink, having tea spares me the ordeal of dinner, where you run the risk of your dinner partner or partners bending their elbow and becoming increasingly less witty.  A few people become more witty with alcohol -- precious few.

Rita Will, p. 284
