    In the 80s when i was a child there were billboards with PSAs saying don’t drink and drive. I’d promptly scold my parents if i caught them taking a sip from their soft drink after hitting the McDonald’s drive through.

      “Drink” is such a weird word in how it has both a general and specific meaning, but no other word for the general meaning is commonly used.

      “Drink your milk! No drinking until you’re 21!”
