Go out for a beer [closed]
What does the sentence "We should go out for some beer." mean?
- We should go somewhere and drink beer there.
- 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.
