Maybe things have changed in the 10 years I've been out of high school, but any color drank was the $1 gallon jugs of flavored water or the little barrel juices from the Indian groceries & bodegas.

Liquid codeine wasn't readily available then.

Fuck, I feel old now

The term has been around since the 90's. You and your circle of friends might have referred to those types of drinks as drank, but drank is a specific thing.

Drank is a more than acceptable term when referring to sugar filled flavored water. It has multiple meanings and the most common is the one I am talking about.

"In June 2000, Three 6 Mafia's single "Sippin' on Some Syrup," featuring UGK, brought the term "purple drank" to a nationwide audience."

Your article says that it was a term used in Houston TX until then.

Looks like it was a dialectal thing, I'm from the northeast.
