When in Africa it is advised to drink tap water as the water has been proven to be unclean. A lot of bacteria rapidly grow in water. Millions of dollars are spent saving lives of people who have consumed germ ridden water.

The water may be contaminated by rubbish, or human or animal waste. The bacteria that gro in the water could potentially be fatal.

How often can you drink heavily?

Well, if you really wanted, you could do it every night, although it really wouldn't be advisable. Drinking heavily, or Binge Drinking isn't advised at all, as if you do drink a lot, then it is advised to spread it out, rather than drink it all in the same night. However, if you are intent on going out and getting slaughtered regularly then I would leave it a week between them, to give your liver chance to recover, if not, two weeks would be better.

It depends on the context. Here are some possible sentences: 1. I'm going to drink a cup of milk. 2. I'm going to drink milk. 3. I'm going to drink some milk. They are all correct.
