Meanings and usage

verb: to drink water
食水

食水 carries many dialect- and sense-specific meanings (ship's draft, drinking-water noun, profiteering, absorbing water, vainly hoping); the sense used here is the Teochew-tagged verb 'to drink water', but overlap with a broader Southern Min figurative sense is possible.
