to drink water In a number of languages ‘to drink water’ is expressed by a single term which combines the components of drinking and of water. In other instances a verb meaning simply ‘to drink’ normally means to drink water unless otherwise specified. In Greek almost the opposite situation exists. For example, MAT 11:18 (ἦλθεν γὰρ Ἰωάννης μήτε ἐσθίων μήτε πίνων ‘for John came neither eating nor drinking’) implies a reference to drinking alcoholic beverages.
