Comment 1

Is squash (drink) a type of punch (drink)? If so, should they be merged? —msh210 23:32, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

No. Squash isn't a mixed drink. 66.92.237.111 01:22, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 2

What about soft drinks? Shouldn't we have all drinks here?

edited 08/2006

Changed "et al" to "etc." throughout. The latin "et al" refers only to persons. 128.112.146.190 15:52, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List

Shouldn't we make list of drinks and move all the examples there? This article is awful list-y when it potentially could not be. 165.138.96.4 16:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean make a list of drinks as a new, separate article?

Also, I have several complaints about the "hot beverages" section of the list. 1) Frappe: based on my experience of it as a milkshake in New England, and having read the entry on the Greek frappe, I don't believe it's ever a hot drink (although, I have no idea if or how Starbucks and the like may be using the term frappe nowadays). 2) Iced coffee is not a hot drink. 3) Teas, in addition to being drunk hot are commonly served iced. (And, in my experience, they can also be served at room temperature, e.g., unchilled "sun tea").Mystiree 14:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Mystiree[reply]

What?

Where on Earth do people call the Ocean a drink? or Where do people "DRINK in the atmosphere" TAKE IN perhaps. When terms like this are used we should indicate WHERE they are supposedly used, therefore we can find out if this is actually accurate. Arthurian Legend 16:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have heard both of these uses on many occasions; they seemed completely familiar to me when I read them in this article. I can't say when I first or last heard them, but I'd say probably throughout my life of 58 years. I have always lived in the northern United States: Michigan, New England, and Oregon. I believe both of these examples are in common usage throughout the northern U.S. and possibly elsewhere. Mystiree 14:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC) Mystiree[reply]

The ocean is not called A drink, but THE drink. To fall into the drink, to fall off a boat, into the ocean. They're just idioms, for Christ's sake, don't be a prick. 68.98.50.49 16:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The use of "drink" in this manner is chiefly British ("Blimey, Inspector -- the bloke dove into the drink and I lost him!"). I don't know if it's really common any more. Cranston Lamont 03:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't iced tea NOT be on hot beverages?

The hot beverages list is all screwed up. I suggest we change that to brewed beverages, or infused beverages. --Vehgah 21:28, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should Drink Day become a national Day

We all know that drinking is a key source to survival, water (h2o) is a very important drink that is used globaly. There should be a day just to celebrate the fluids that keep our body's going. It could also help keep people healthy because they will want to drink on this day, and this will hydrate them.

Should there be a national drink that people should consume?

I know that water is a pretty common drink but cant there be a special kind of drink that allows people to get hydrated? Comment some thoughts about what kind of drinks should be classified as national drinks. Thanks, Kyle.
