Thats not really context though, is it.
Can see what you are saying, but bottled water isn't really a neccesity, neither is a pint, neither do either transport you around. Your context here, appears to simply be that all items come in liquid form.
You can get water from the tap. And you don't need beer in particular to quench your thirst.0 -
