Anything/Something

Anything else to drink?
Something else to drink?

Which is the correct sentence?
I suppose it is the first one, but why?
I know that in a question I can use either anything or something depending on what are my expectations about the answer...But I suppose that in a short sentence like the one above, they are not both correct. Is that so?
