Cocktail Question - Drinks vs. Cocktails? 
Q: What's the difference in meeting for "drinks" and meeting for "cocktails"? What is the definition of a cocktail anyway?

Thanks,
Tina

A: Well in general meeting for "drinks" or "cocktails" is essentially the same. Both infer that you will be meeting over an alcoholic beverage. The words "drink" and "cocktail" do have different meaning. "Drink" is both a noun and a verb, it refers to all drinks, both with or without alcohol. "Cocktail", however, is a noun only and almost always refers to an alcoholic beverage, although some of my favorite cocktails are of the shrimp variety.
