  • Answer:
  • Answer:In modern usage guides, drank is the past tense of drink, as in "I drank a lot last night," and drunk is the past participle (following "have"), as in "Yes, I have drunk wine before." Throughout history, however, these words have been confused and used in their opposite contexts, perhaps because of the association between the word drunk and intoxication.

The History of 'Drank' and 'Drunk'

According to the set rules for irregular verbs, drank indicates the past tense and drunk is the past participle. Other similar inflections are rang and rung for ring and sang and sung for sing. The Oxford English Dictionary notes, however, that drunk was accepted in past-tense usage from the 16th through the 19th centuries, and British Lexicographer Samuel Johnson gives past-tense drunk as a standard variant in his 1755 A Dictionary of the English Language.
