... for as long as men draw breath.

 

[Disckstuckinfan]

I've never heard draw followed by breath. It means as long as men are alive right?

 

[jutfrank]

In this context, yes.

More generally, draw breath means 'breathe (in)'. You're going to notice it next time you hear this collocation.

It is used. It is not an informal usage.
