I've noticed Asian dads always drink the same said drinks with a meal.
I just think that's hilarious. Are they meant to go with food? It's not beer or wine...
I'm not asian, my father isn't, and I don't really know any asian families that well.
Having said that, it's more of a trend, and not specific to any ethnicity. I've been to a few restaurants lately where paired cocktails have been suggested with the meal. For the most part, I'm not into it because I tend to gulp down a lot of liquid with my food, so I usually stick to water. I just get very thirsty as I eat. But at one place, Rasika in DC, I have to say that I really enjoyed the drinks they mixed up for our food. I had to keep a glass of water to satisfy my thirst, but flavor-wise, I can see why some people are into it.
It's too damn expensive to do on a regular basis, though, at least for me
