I think that due to the special link between their bodies and their souls they were not so easily ifluenced by such pleasures such as food, drink, or..,you know what I mean

I think this is true up to a point. Remember Legolas not needing to sleep unless he wanted to, and elves choosing not to have children if the parents were going to spend time apart during the offspring's formative years. I imagine elves just had more control over their bodies than we do - they enjoyed good food, good wine and all those other pleasures. They were just able to enjoy them without *needing* them, or them having the same effects on them as they do on us humbler folk.
Come to think of it, I know some people who are pretty elf-like in this way - they stuff their faces with good food and never get fat, drink fine wine all night and wake up the next morning bright-eyed...jolly annoying they are too. I begin to understand Saucie's anti-elf viewpoint....
