Usage & Nuances
'Drink to' is semi-formal and mostly used in social events with alcohol, often followed by a phrase like 'drink to your health' or 'drink to the future.' It does not mean to literally drink something (like water); it always involves making a toast. Avoid using it for non-alcoholic drinks unless the context is clear.
