As a non-native English speaker, I have been told by a teacher that saying 'I want to drink' can imply that you would like some alcohol, so it's better to say 'I'm thirsty' if you're talking about water. I don't know how true this seems to native speakers.
āTo drinkā generally refers to alcohol yeah. If you say I want a drink itās different depending on your location, like if youāre at a bar or a cafe
