[Grammar] DO you want anything/ something to drink?

[wotcha]

1. Do you want anything to drink?

2. Do you want something to drink?


I think we should put 'something' not 'anything' in case of offering some food.

Then, is 1 a wrong sentence?

No. Both are possible.

You may find this helpful. It's about some and any in general, but the principles apply to something and anything.

1. Do you want anything to drink?

2. Do you want something to drink?

Whichever question you ask, the answers will be the same: 'Yes, please' or 'No, thanks'.

Note that one 'to' is enough, when it's not about doing exercise ;-).
