- voidlogic 13y agoWait- If they use drank to mean drink, what to they use for the actual "drank" (that is a drinking in the past)?
- DigitalTurk 13y agoInteresting. I thought drink (n.) refered to alcoholic beverages! Where in the US is this?
- Highball 13y agoAlabama. You are right, its used for alcoholic beverages and non alcoholic beverages so context is key. Ive never encountered a problem with any confusion. Usually when its used, its clear whether alcohol is meant. Alcohol: "Were going out for drinks" "We have a few drinks with dinner" Non-Alcohol (Coke/Pop/Soda) "We got some drinks at the gas station on the way over" "Will you get me a drink while you are in the kitchen?" "We have drinks in the fridge" I think most people that use it would answer "Coke" if asked because thats what southerners are supposed to say, but informally "drink" gets used quite often.
