When a teacher here says, "It makes almost as little sense as everything that has gone before", you can take that to mean that it is not correct.So is it correct or no ?
(... since you asked about the chicken.)
Speaking of chicken, "I am eating chicken" is not the only intelligent reply to "I am drinking chicken". For example, you could have been using "chicken" to mean 'beer', in which case, 'drinking' is correct. Once you compound the error with half a dozen similar errors in a sentence, it becomes exponentially difficult to infer a correct understanding. Two errors, four times as hard. Four errors, 16 times as hard, etc.
