food/drinks socializing safety

is eating while socializing something y’all still do at all? what would a relatively safe way to eat or drink with someone?

personally i don’t like eating meals with people, so that’s already a private process anyway. but it can be nice to have coffee, pastries, candy, snacks, drinks, etc when socializing. is the best option just to avoid that altogether when socializing? or are there effective ways to have moments like that safely?

i guess the main prevention methods are what they always have been: isolate if sick, test before meeting, fewer people the better, HEPA filter in room or outdoors in a breezy area. i would say masks but you can’t rly eat or drink with a mask on- hence my whole question.

any thoughts about this?
