I have just learned through a simple dictionary search that both exist, one meaning drinking too much. Is that true? It is strange theres no a suffix or something to convey that meaning....

Hi! / Saluton!

Yup, you've got it right.  I've got a copy of Peter Benson's "Comprehensive English-Esperanto Dictionary" and the entry for "drink" says (in part):

 drink, (gen), trinki [tr];...(drink alcoholic beverages, esp to excess), drinki [int]

Though you're referred also to the entry for "drunk" which has "ebria" as its root.  "Drunkard" is listed as "drink(em)ulo", tho, whereas "get drunk" is "ebrigi" (that is, if you're getting someone else drunk) or "ebriĝi" (getting drunk).

I'm not sure why you'd have "drinki" and then also "ebrigi/iĝi".  Perhaps "drinki" is a colloquialism.  Hopefully someone in the know will pop in and answer the question (which is a good one, I think)!

I'd say that "drinki" is what you actively do, and "ebriiĝi" is what happens to you as a result. To appreciate the difference, you could consider the following example. Someone with a high tolerance for alcohol might say, "Mi multe drinkis sed mi nur iomete ebriiĝis", meaning, "I drank a lot, but I got only a little drunk."

I would say trinki when drinking sth. but drinki when it's something alcoholic. Drinki is the thing one does in the pub (drink-ej-o) ridulo.gif.

Drinki is the Zamenhofan word (I believe it was in the first list he published). Ebria is an "oficiala aldono" (official addition to the list of official roots) which IMNSHO is/was not needed..........as are most of the "oficialaj aldonoj" since the first list was put out ridulo.gif. But them I'm a schematist, so what can you do?
