Is squash (drink) a type of punch (drink)? If so, should they be merged? —msh210 23:32, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

No. Squash isn't a mixed drink. 66.92.237.111 01:22, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Changed "et al" to "etc." throughout. The latin "et al" refers only to persons. 128.112.146.190 15:52, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List

Shouldn't we make list of drinks and move all the examples there? This article is awful list-y when it potentially could not be. 165.138.96.4 16:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Do you mean make a list of drinks as a new, separate article?

Also, I have several complaints about the "hot beverages" section of the list. 1) Frappe: based on my experience of it as a milkshake in New England, and having read the entry on the Greek frappe, I don't believe it's ever a hot drink (although, I have no idea if or how Starbucks and the like may be using the term frappe nowadays). 2) Iced coffee is not a hot drink. 3) Teas, in addition to being drunk hot are commonly served iced. (And, in my experience, they can also be served at room temperature, e.g., unchilled "sun tea").Mystiree 14:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Mystiree

[edit] What?

Where on Earth do people call the Ocean a drink? or Where do people "DRINK in the atmosphere" TAKE IN perhaps. When terms like this are used we should indicate WHERE they are supposedly used, therefore we can find out if this is actually accurate. Arthurian Legend 16:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I have heard both of these uses on many occasions; they seemed completely familiar to me when I read them in this article. I can't say when I first or last heard them, but I'd say probably throughout my life of 58 years. I have always lived in the northern United States: Michigan, New England, and Oregon. I believe both of these examples are in common usage throughout the northern U.S. and possibly elsewhere. Mystiree 14:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC) Mystiree
