What does DRINK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To swallow a liquid, or to consume alcohol as a habit.
Drink covers everything from a child gulping juice to a plant drinking in water through its roots, and it narrows specifically to alcohol whenever someone says a person drinks without naming what. As a noun the same word names both the act itself and the liquid consumed, so a cold drink can refer equally to lemonade or to a glass of wine depending on context.
How DRINK is used
Used both as an everyday verb for consuming any liquid and, especially without an object, as a common way to refer to alcohol.
- She stopped to drink from the fountain after the run.

- The dry soil seemed to drink up the rain within minutes.
- They met for a quick drink after work.
