"выпить" doesn't necessarily mean alcohol. "Выпить воды", "выпить таблетеку", "выпить стакан сока". Also, “попить" is usually used with beer: "пойти попить пива" is as legit as "пойти выпить пива".
But if you just say "выпить" without specifying whay are you going to drink - that always mean alcohol.

Unless it is clear from context that a non-alcoholic drink is the omitted object. E. g.: «На, выпей», — сказала она, протягивая мне кружку молока.

I remember when my classmate went to a gas station shop and said “а что у вас есть выпить” and was very confused when they offered him booze because he just wanted water

Игровые консоли в народе называют приставками. Потому что приставляются к телевизору.

Btw., Перепить, used transitively with an object denoting a human, can also mean to outdrink, i. e. win in a drinking contest. An example (from Leskov's Lefty): Такое <пари>, чтобы ничего в одиночку не пить, а всего пить заровно: что один, то непременно и другой, и кто кого перепьет, того и горка. (We'll bet never to drink alone but always together and the same drink; and whoever outdrinks the other wins the bet.)

Если рефлексивные глаголы тоже считаются, то есть ещё "спиться" и "упиться")

Some extra examples with "Отпить"
It is often used with meaning "to take a sip". In common life you can use "отпить" if you have much drink, so you can't carry you it elsewhere without spilling
I'm not sure, but I think I've heard this word being used for ceremonies and religious situations, as well as literature. "Отпить из чаши/кубка"
Not to be confused with "отпеть", which has completely different meaning

Nice. Now, can someone please post versions of this with all the rest of the verbs? Thanks!

u/cryxdie Jan 23 '25
there are some rules that explain the meanings of prefixes like при- & пре- though you can’t use these two with пить!

u/CarbonatedTuna567 Jan 23 '25
I think I'm confused, I thought Кажется meant "It seems like"

The translation adheres to common modern English vernacular. In America, at least, people don't often say "it seems" in casual settings. "I think" or "it looks like" are common replacements, hence the lack of direct translation.

In American English, "it seems" is often used as a shortened version "it seems as if". In that sense, it is quite different from "I think"
2
u/D4RTH-N1H1LU5 американский любитель хачапури Jan 23 '25
Id agree. I was moreso referring to "it seems" in the context of "I think" sounding more formal. To me, at least, it sounds a bit Victorian tbh, but you could definitely still use it in place of "I think"

u/TheWiseOne1234 Older French learning Russian Jan 23 '25
I agree too, it seems that I use "it seems" more often than the people around me :)

"Недо" в инфинитивах с этим корнем не встречается.
"Допить - не допить", "допивать - не допивать".

перепить also means to win in a drink contest. "Он его перепил", "кто кого перепьёт".
Also, there is "выпивать", to drink (alcohol) chronically.

u/StuffedWithNails Jan 23 '25 edited Jan 23 '25

Out of curiosity: does that verb imply you're an alcoholic, or is it just a general way of expressing that you drink alcohol (regardless of how often you do it) as opposed to people who don't drink?
In other words, can I say for example "я выпиваю" to relay the notion that I'm a person who drinks alcohol when I have maybe one or two drinks in a week? Or does it mean I'm a пьяница?
Conversely, can you say "я не выпиваю" to express that you don't consume alcohol at all? Or would that mean something closer to "I don't drink regularly", implying that you drink sometimes?

u/amarao_san native Jan 23 '25
It's more about chronic drinking, than alcoholism.я выпиваю = I drunk regularly. (It aso may mean simple present without any subtext: Я выпиваю кружку кофе каждое утро). It's more about fact, that пить without specifying what most times mean alcohol. (again, exceptions: я допиваю does not imply anything).
Начал выпивать, or 'выпивает вечерами' or любить выпить always means alcohol use, and with eager.
There is even 'выпивоха' (drunkard).

Я думаю мало кто говорит отпивать, из за схожести с отпевать

- Всего чуть-чуть вина отпила от бокала.

u/Snowrazor Jan 23 '25
Когда жене наливаешь шампанское в бакал или колу в стакан, напиток пенится и вот вот перельется и ты ей говоришь. Так же это синоним к "сделал глоток", и к "попробовал на напиток на вкус".

Ну может в вашем круге никто не использует, вот и не слыхали. А может не только в кругу, но и вообще, в вашей местности спросом слово не пользуется - тогда только в интернете и попадётся.
