drink

0Hi,02br
02br
00When someone says, "I am thirsty. I need a drink," doesn't that mean he wants a cup of water or an alcoholic drink? A "drink" to mean an "amount" of a liquid doesn't ring true in some sentential situations.02br
02br
00How about this what looks to be a title?02br

0'Drink' can refer both to alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, according to the context. The noun 'drinking' means either the action of swallowing liquid or the consumption of alcohol. A drinker is a person who drinks too much alcohol. If someone doesn't drink, it means they never drink alcohol. If, on the other hand, they have a drink problem, then they suffer from alcoholism. 02br

0 I think it means an alcoholic drink in both cases. If someone is thirsty and just wants water, he'd say. "I'm going for a glass of water" or the like. 0-

0 It can mean either. You can usually work out which is meant from the context and the way it is spoken. For example, I might ask a 5 year old child 'would you like a drink?' and then it is clearly not alcoholic. If some friends visit me in the evening then I might ask 'would you like a drink?' and I would mean alcoholic - but of course they could choose to have something non-alcoholic as well.
