Drinks break started in football when the first time the football team needs a drink and they don't want to miss any of the game. So they pause for a moment and take a break from taking turns on defense to get up, walk alllllll the way over to those weird machines that make those cold watery drinks uhhhhhh (you know, you could also use cups or be inefficient) and because it's not like there's 20 other guys on your team who could do it for you I'll just hold my spot here until YOU GET OUT ON DEFENSE because we're running out of time anyway.
