Topic	Are soda, water, and beer edible?
foolm0r0n 07/06/23 3:00:13 PM #33:	GANON1025 posted... If you had a glass of soda, and someone said are you going to finish eating that?, that would be an odd way to phrase that question. But if they said "are you done eating?" and you said "yes", they would remove the soda from you along with the other food. People like to be specific in language so if there's a more specific convenient word you'll use it. That doesn't mean the meanings are not subsets. Like "sitting" is a subset of "positioning yourself", but you would never ask someone "would you like to position yourself on this chair". That said, we don't even need to go that far here because people use "eat" and "food" with drinks constantly --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:974665888] in Are soda, ...
