Interesting question, becca. I know when I say - I need a drink of something other than alcohol, I specify. Like - I need coffee or water, and leave out the 'drinking' part altogether. Must have been something I grew up doing because I don't think about how I'm saying it.
You are right, tho, we assume that when somewhen says - "I need a drink." that they mean alcohol.
I don't like alcohol either and save my 'drinking' for social occasions, but always stop at 1 or 2, then I switch to water or coffee.
Alcohol is bad for a lot of people who use it to self-medicate for various reasons. The drug of choice for many.
