Usage Note
Verre covers both the drinking vessel and the material; context distinguishes them. Boire un verre is an extremely common way to say 'to have a drink' socially, without specifying what is in it. Be careful not to confuse it with ver (worm), vers (toward/verse), or vert (green) — all homophones.
Examples
"Je veux un verre d'eau."
