I drink it 'mostly' out of wooden mugs that I have made myself & a couple of leather mugs I bought...but I also have some glass & pottery mugs and glasses. (the wood & leather ones act as their own coaster, so I don't have to worry about wood surfaces)

ANY experience, including drinking various things, is what you make it. I often have food with my beer...but I often don't. I'm no gourmet, but I do see why some like to enhance dining with selected wine or beer.

*grin* "uneducated boors" at least save on the space I allocate to all my mugs.
