By the way, since BoB cited Wikipedia for the definition of "drink", I feel like pointing out that he didn't even cite the entire paragraph he quoted.
It can be divided into various groups such as plain water, alcohol, non alcoholic drinks, soft drinks (carbonated drinks), fruit or vegetable juices and hot drinks.
Note what category is missing here: Soup. Soup is, however, found on the
side dish page, which says:
A side dish, sometimes referred to as a side order, side item, or simply a side, is a
food item that accompanies the entrée or main course at a meal.
Notice what
is found on this page:
Antipasto
Asparagus
Baked beans
Baked potatoes
Broccoli
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Coleslaw
Dinner rolls or other breads
French fries or steak fries
Green beans
Greens
Macaroni and cheese
Macaroni salad
Mashed potatoes
Mushrooms
Pasta salad
Potato salad
Salad (often a "side" salad)
Soups
Squash
I can't help it that some of you are completely and utterly objectively wrong. There is no hope for you people. The rest of us clearly have the sense to realise that soup is not a drink.
