+ In Classical Latin it was to drink a liquid, to have a drink, and to drink wine, to tipple.^(OLD 2012) Poets used it of drinking from a river, that is living near it, and it was to take medicine, to suck milk, to soak up liquid and figuratively to drink in words.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) Döderlein says that ''bibere'' is drinking like a human being, [[pōtō]] drinking like a beast or tippling.^(Döderlein 1874)

+ In medieval Latin it had religious, legal and medical uses.^(MLW) It survives as [[it|bere]], [[es|beber]] and [[ro|bea]].^(Wiktionary) Old French ''boivre'' gave English ''beverage'', and [[imbibō]] gave ''imbibe''.^(Etymonline)
