I have never seen or heard of that before, and I'm an almost 40 year old Dane. We have a pretty widespread drinking culture.
Snacks are nice while drinking, but most here go for crisps, nuts or similar.
If you have friends from the Slavic countries like poland, ask them. They will confirm ;) The belief is that the electrolytes help and the salt makes you drink more (hopefully water). However, studies don't really support this (though there aren't many).
