«drink» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

2. A drink is something you drink, or an amount of it. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/D/drink/#m2)
3. For grown-ups, «to drink» can mean to drink alcohol. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/D/drink/#m3)

### In the lessons

maths: liquids used up (subtract) or drinks bought and sold; a rate per day multiplies over days; liters and milliliters; science: the body needs water, plants drink through their roots; everyday life and safety: drink water when you play sport, never drink from bottles you do not know
