I think the word drink was originally only an action, until someone started to refer to all drinkable items as “drinks” and the language adapted.

A similar thing is happening now, as people call things that can be eaten, “eats”. So you can " eat an eat"

This one?

I would rather walk for six months than spend 5 hours squished into modern aircraft.

Not only would I be far more comfortable, I would have life experiences other than dealing with people I would rather be as far away from as possible, and I would be in better shape, and would likely make friends along the way.
