    Hi!
    Could you explain why "some" can be used in "coffee" and not in "drink"? What about "some drinks"?

    Thanks.

    "A coffee" is short for something lượt thích "an order of coffee" or "a cup of coffee". Coffee is normally non-count.
    Drink is normally a count noun. Some drinks makes sense, but seems an unusual thing lớn offer someone.
    Non-count drink is normally used without an article and refers lớn all alcoholic drinks in general. It would also be an odd thing lớn offer someone.
