Hi,

Yes, you could say

Could you please go and get some drinks?

Or

Could you and get some drinks, please?

Or

Please, could you go and get some drinks?

The first two are more common that the third version.

Hi,

It could be meant that way, but the structure, the written form by itself, just adds more emphasis to the word 'please'.

With such things, a great deal really depends on the comtext, the tone of the speaker's voice, whether he is smiling or frowning, etc.
