    Kevin asks: I am writing to ask you about the proper usage of the verb drink. More to the point, I'm wondering about the usage of drank versus drunk. It's one of those issues that no one I've talked to...


    My dictionary says "drunk" is an archaic past tense of "drink." Several hundred years ago, we might have said "I drunk a lot last night." But now we'd say "I drank a lot last night," as you suggest.

      1. What if Sava was drunk when writing his descriptions?
      2. Are you worried that your extrapolations may be mistaken?
      3. Would you have sex with Sava and his girlfriend? To test the validity of your extrapolations.

        From your link:
        "Drunk" is also a past participle of "drink," so it would be used as you suggest in your second example

            1. What if Sava was drunk when writing his descriptions?
            Then it's a good thing I'm drunk as well so I can understand Sava's thought processes.

            2. Are you worried that your extrapolations may be mistaken?
            No. I'm good at gaging how much people suck.

            3. Would you have sex with Sava and his girlfriend? To test the validity of your extrapolations.
            Gay marriage is illegal in Texas so no. Would I sleep with Sava's gf? A or B, maybe. It would depend. They seem like ok ladies.

                            Ben is really a pathetic loser who needs the approval of people on the internet to satisfy his ego. Everyone hates him, and they are right to do so.
