Are these sentences natural? Nov 20

Hi,

Are these sentences natural to a native ear?

1. Does lunch at Orion on December 20 work for you? (should I say 'lunch' or 'a lunch'?)

2. How many of those bottles do you drink in a day? ( I was talking about a huge water bottle a colleague of mine had)

3. Did you stay longer? ( I wanted to know if a friend stayed at the bar much longer after I left last night)

Thanks,
MG
