Is it normal that i cannot eat without a beverage with my meal?

Ever since I was a child, I always had a beverage with my meal. I think that it may be kind of weird because I have NEVER had a meal without something to drink( which is always juice or soda) The way the food tastes with my drink is so delicious. I tried to go eat without a drink but it didn't work, I lost my appetite. Plus, I think that i digest my food quicker when I drink and eat at the same time. I have read that it isn't healthy to drink while eating at the same time because it slows the intestines from digesting the food.

    If I can't have a drink then I don't want to eat.

    Same here, but lately I've been eating my food by itself. It doesn't go down as smoothly:/

    one of my teachers told me that drinking while eating slows down the digesting process.

    It's all my mom and I argued about at meal time as a child... She use to withhold my drink until I finished my meal! I didn't get it back then, but I do now... I wish I listened!!!!

    Now, I can't take a bite w/o taking a sip of a drink right after

    Yeah, it's normal. I think it'd be more strange to never have a drink with your meal. The food feels all dry and heavy. You need a drink to balance it!
