I don't think people's attitudes towards having a few glasses of beer or wine with dinner have changed at all, in fact I find it more common now that people will order an expensive bottle of beer or wine with dinner. The difference is they have one or two drinks, not 9.

I would say wine with dinner is way more common than it was decades ago. While beer consumption may be slightly declining wine and spirits are increasing.
