Usage notes

[edit]
  • In Latin America, beber tends to be used more with the meaning of "to drink alcohol", and tomar tends to be used instead for the normal "drink" sense. In Spain, both beber and tomar are common for the "drink" sense, with beber being the default verb. Beber is also commonly used in Spain in the "drink alcohol" sense.
