Hello!
1. A drink is explained as material, e.g. an amount of a liquid which you drink, in COBUILD.
Does the expression ‘a drink of water’ refer to cases regardless of whether with/without containers to put it in?
2. In the sentence below, a long drink is used to refer to an action of drinking, which is long, not as material. Am I right in thinking this way?
quench one's thirst with a long drink of water. (OALD)
Thanks in advance
