it's probably because it's cheap and easy to digest!!!
no teeth. need soft food.
If they are serving some sort of alcoholic drink, it is probably linked to their particular cultural background of having wine with dinner? (ie are a lot of the residents Italian?) Given that they all take different meds and some may be even diabetic, it is not necessarily a good idea, but maybe in moderation it is ok and may help them sleep good that night.
lolz its healthy and tasty! and its better for their dentures!
