Don't you drink when you ingest liquids that does not contain any water, e.g. olive oil or etax (99,7% alcohol). I have experienced both and I think it feels exactly like drink water-based substances. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.183.72.136 ( talk) 02:24, 3 December 2009 (UTC) I know, wtf does water have to do with drinking. In the English language, drinking refers to the consumption of alcoholic beverages, not water. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.137.77 ( talk) 05:00, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
Does one eat or drink soup? What about custard? I would have thought the division between eating and drinking is more complex than solid versus liquid -- BozMo |talk 15:53, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
In my opinion there should be a separe article for thirst which includes the psyiological mechanisms underlying the sense of thirst, the variousphysiological triggers of thirst, and any diseases relating to thirst. Additionally, I don't think this is a cohesive article. It reads more like a set of small articles grouped together. Much of the beginning of this article should go into water metabolism.

What's the best drink to quench thirst? Is it just plain water?
If the minimum daily intake of water is 1.6, what is the maximum daily intake? Some people drink a lot of water and don't have any of the diseases the article says that huge intakes are a sign of.
Is it true that the body can only absorb 1 L of water per hour?
I was told by a nurse that drinking too much water could lead to severe exhaustion etc. Any idea which levels we're talking about, like, is that beyond 6 litres or? 62.107.24.213 ( talk) 15:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Given how distinct quaffing is from merely drinking, I don't believe it should redirect to this page. Afterall, the distinction of quaffing is that a goodly portion of the beverage in question ends up around the mouth rather than in it. ~ SotiCoto ( talk) 13:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
While watching my cat lap water from a bowl, I was thinking "I can't do that. How do other animals take in water from sources like ponds and streams?" I'd used a cupped hand, although suction is also possible, as from a drinking fountain, but probably immersing the nose or chin. I'd like to see someone contribute a bit about the mechanics of liquid intake by primates and other animals, also describing how some animal tongues can efficiently deliver water to the mouth. Do they form something like a cup? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.116.70 ( talk) 00:19, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Earlier this month I added pertinent material about the actual process of drinking. I don't understand why it was reorganized to place the sections on "Thirst" and "Health" at the top. These topics are related to drinking, but not identical to it, and they have their own articles already. These summary sections should be placed lower in the article, after the main topic has been established, no? SteveStrummer ( talk) 20:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Please don't put any references to water as drinking refers to much more than the consumption of water. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.137.77 ( talk) 05:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

3.7 liters per day sounds massive, I don't think I know anyone who drinks that much. Perhaps some source on prevalence to be added? -- ExperiencedArticleFixer ( talk) 15:39, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
