No drinks, but I have met and spoken with several celebs -- Sheryl Crow, Bobby Hull, I once shook hands with Prince Andrew.
The one time I sent someone famous a drink was when Kim Mitchell walked into a local nightclub. He's well-known in Canada, having been with the band Max Webster for a number of years and then having a super successful solo career.... he was swarmed with fans and attention and I remember thinking "damn, that guy probably needs a drink" since he was signing autographs and no one was getting the guy a beverage. I sent him over a vodka-tonic, and he later came over and thanked me.
I had insider information that that was his favorite drink.
But I think sometimes celebrity types may be wary of people making overtures with drinks etc.... there are a lot of fucking idiots and creeps out there, and it's probably hard to tell why someone is sending you a drink, if they have some motive or if they are just being friendly. And like someone else said, sometimes they just want to be left alone and treated like anyone else at that moment or event.
