Koreans often use the words "drink" and "eat" interchangeably, so in real life, the expression "drink water" is sometimes used interchangeably with "eat water."
The proverbial expression,
공짜라면 양잿물도 마신다. If it's free, someone can drink lye water.
공짜라면 양잿물도 먹는다. If it's free, someone can eat lye water.
It implies that people don't hesitate to take dangerous things if they get something for free, and it contains the lesson that "don't be too tempted by free things."
The 양잿물 (Yang Jat Mul) lye water mentioned here refers to lye water imported from the West, which is mainly used for laundry, and is a dangerous laundry detergent because it is highly toxic and can cause death if ingested in small amounts.
