	Danyoo  +  172719 Wed, 21 Dec 05 10:24 AM We have some soup.  We usually don't say eat or drink soup. You might say slurp soup if you want to be descriptive of a person making a lot of noise while having hot soup.

After all, we take medicine - even the runny types - rather than drink medicine.  Don't start using it in that sense unless it is right for your local version of English, but just be aware that it exists as it can cause some confusion. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.
