We have lots more on yesterday's theme, so drink up!
DRINK 酒、酒を飲む
- We sometimes call a glass of wine, a mug of beer, or a similar amount of alcohol a drink.
When not followed by an object (for example, a beverage name), the verb drink often means “drink alcohol”. - 名詞としてdrink を使う場合、例えばグラス一杯のワイン、ジョッキに入ったビール、または、それらと同じくらいの量を含むアルコール飲料、という意味です。
(例えば、飲み物の名前などの)目的語を伴わないで動詞として drink を使う場合、酒を飲む、という意味で使われることがよくあります。
- a: Would you like a drink?
b: No thanks. I never drink at lunch. - a: How about a glass of wine?
b: No thank you. I don't drink. Do you have anything without alcohol? - (getting home at 11:00 p.m.)
Sorry I'm late. I went out for drinks with some of the people at the office. - (to your friends, at a pub)
The drinks are on me! - Have fun tonight, Harry, but don't drink too much.
- You've already had five drinks tonight, Harry. Don't you think that's enough?
- It's against the law to drink and drive.
It was good drinking with you! Let's do this again soon!
