Drink

v. consume liquids; consume alcoholic beverages; absorb moisture; eagerly absorb through the senses; honor with a toast, participate in a toast

n. beverage, liquid which is swallowed to quench one's thirst; alcoholic beverage

The word drink is primarily a verb, meaning to ingest liquids. As a noun, it refers to the liquid that is ingested. It is often used in a narrower sense to refer to alcoholic beverages (as both a verb and a noun). Drink is also slang for a body of water, such as an ocean or a water hazard on a golf course (e.g. "He hit that one into the drink."). To drink in is also used metaphorically, as in to drink in the scenery; to appreciate.
