[Grammar] Verb + Object + To-Infinitive

[leslieking]

I have a sentence.

She wants something to drink.

something = direct object
to drink = to-infinitive

Does the "object" have priority over the "to-infinitive"? In other words do we need to use the object then after the to-infinitive? or are these two sentences the same? are they both grammatically correct?

She wants something to drink.
She wants to drink something.

Meanwhile a found a PDF and it says "want" takes this pattern (verb + object + to-infinitive)

But I'm still confused.

Should I say?
"He wants chocolate to eat"

instead of
"He wants to eat chocolate"?

Both are correct.
