Go out for a beer [closed]

What does the sentence "We should go out for some beer." mean?

  1. We should go somewhere and drink beer there.
  2. We should go somewhere, buy some beer and come back.

Maybe both meanings are right? Thanks.


I'd say the key word is "some," indicating a supply. As in, we are camping, and we should go out for some beer (to bring back here and drink). If you wanted to invite someone to go to a bar with you, you would say, "Let's go out for a beer." Similarly, you could invite someone to go for "a coffee," i.e., at a café.
