Hi Clive

Please can you explain why 'coke' is countable in the fourth sentence mentioned above?

Thanks

Hi,

Used that way, it means a glass of Coke / a can of Coke/ a drink of Coke.

Similary, we say things like

eg Would you like a beer?

eg I bought two coffees and a tea.

The word 'Coke' should really have a capital, as it's a proper noun.

Best wishes, Clive
