DrinkThe word drink is primarily a verb, meaning to ingest liquids. As a noun, it refers to the liquid thus ingested. It is often used in a narrower sense to refer to alcoholic beverages (as both a verb and a noun). Drink is also slang for a body of water, such as an ocean or a water hazard on a golf course (e.g. "He hit that one into the drink."). To drink in is also used metaphorically, as in to drink in the scenery. A beverage is a drink specifically prepared for human consumption. Beverages almost always largely consist of water. Water is essential for living, significantly more so than food. Death will usually occur after 1 week without any liquids but humans have been known to survive some months without food. Drinks often consumed include: Water Bottled water Tap water Spring water Juice Fruit juices Nectars Vegetable juices Sap Sugar cane juice Maple sugar sap Cactus juice Soft drinks Aguas frescas Ades (non-carbonated, primarily sugar water) Fruit drinks (Hi-C et al) Lemonade Limeade Orange drink (Tang et al) Squash Powdered drinks (Kool-aid et al) Syrup drinks (Zarex et al) Frozen ades Hawaiian Ice Slush Snow cone Carbonated beverages Carbonated water Fermented soft drinks (in their original form, many are now made from syrup and carbonated water).
