drinks break

Pause for beverages

A drinks break is a scheduled pause during an activity—typically a sports match or work session—for participants to hydrate.

In cricket and football, drinks breaks are formal interruptions, especially in hot conditions.

The term is more common in British English; Americans might say water break instead.
