Usage of "drink" as an uncountable noun
Dictionaries say that "drink" can be both countable and uncountable.
I have made up two sentences using the word UNcountably.
(1) I bought four cans of pineapple drink.
(2) My friends and I each got a super-size cup of fruit juice. It was too much for us. So, we saved some of our drink for tonight.
Is it okay to use "drink" uncountably in the sentences? Thank you very much.
