What does *drink* mean in answers?

I'm seeing people type "**drink**" in their answers to some questions here in R&S off and on.

Is it sort of like typing "yawn" when you think a question is boring? Or something else?

Update:

Oh, sorry, I didn't know it had been answered many times...similar questions didn't come up when I answered it!

I beg you all for your mercy and thank you for your answers and patience!

Update 2:

Er, I mean, similar questions didn't come up when I *asked* it.

    It means someone has asked a question that has been asked so many times before it has become a drinking question. Its like in a drinking game.

    Seeing the same dumb questions 50 gazillion times drives some atheists to drink -- or at least, that's what "Drink" in an answer here means.

    BTW, read the Guidelines for this site, as "Drink" is NOT an answer. People who don't want to actually answer, shouldn't click Big Blue.

    This has been answered many times.  Usually it is posted when the question HAS been asked many times, and/or is getting boring!  For the record, I don't "drink" even off line.

  • That the question (which in most cases was idiotic to begin with such as "if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?") has been asked and answered ad nauseum.

    Ironically, this is a drinking question.

    It's an ongoing drinking game. If you see a question that's been asked a million times, you take a drink.

    If we see a question that is posted over and over, or is related to a specific subject and such. we drink.

    Source(s): I have a hangover so I won't be drinking.. :-(

    The question is meaningless, stupid and asked 300 times per day.
