Use a radio button with three choices: Eat, Drink, Eat & Drink.

If you associated 2 different values to the checkboxes, it is normal that when clicking on one of the checkboxes the other unckeck. Each checkbox has a dedicated value and when you click one, it will set the column to its value and the second box will uncheck due to that same value change. You won't be able to check directly both boxes that way.

If you absolutely want to keep 2 checkboxes linked to the same column, you could add two computed fields with the apparence of a checkbox based on your column for the display part, and handle the clicked event to modify that column by code.
