Last month a member quit over a margarita debate, the vote split 5 to 5

Our club of 12 meets at a bar in Portland on Tuesdays. We were discussing a book with a big scene set in a cantina. Someone asked what everyone would order, and half said margarita, half said something else. It got heated for like 20 minutes, not about the book, but about salt vs. sugar rims. One guy actually said 'if you put sugar on a margarita you have no taste' and walked out. We didn't even finish the chapter. Has your group ever had a pointless side argument derail the whole discussion? How do you pull it back?

...so a dude quit a book club over salt versus sugar on a glass rim? That's not a debate, that's just someone looking for an excuse to storm out. Honestly, sounds like he was saving you all from a whole lot of future drama.
