Where you hear it

idrinking1.ogg is the short gulp heard while your character drinks to restore mana. In Classic, healers and casters drink between almost every pull, so dungeon groups grow used to the sound of the healer sitting down. Mages conjure water for the party, which is why 'water please' became a running joke. The file is a fraction of a second long and repeats while the drink effect lasts. It is a natural comic clip for a break in voice chat.
