Peer comment(s):

agree	Daniel Brown : Yes, I agree. It seems to be the same as saying something like "you are putting me off my food" in English. The atmosphere/conversation is ruining the meal/drink. 2 hrs
agree	Nicholas Hallsworth : I agree. I think "ruin" is the key here, and "ruin the occasion" might also work. 7 hrs
agree	Elizabeth TILLY : I agree. I think Daniel has hit the nail on the head with "you are putting me off my food" as a nice idiomatic phrase to use - you could even play with words to say "putting me off my drink" if that fits the context better. 23 hrs
agree	Zoe Womack : I agree with James and Daniel. Basically the person is saying "Jeez, you guys are so boring it's ruining my drink!" You could also say something like "I can't even enjoy my drink because of how boring you're being!" 3 days 10 hrs
agree	Alexander Howell-Jackson : I agree with Daniel that the closing thing in English which is actually said in colloquial speech is: "you are putting me off my food". That being said, I can't see anyone in English saying that someone is so boring that they're ruining their drink... 4 days
