I �m sorry, but neither is correct (grammatically, yes, but no one would say it that way) We would say "May I get a drink of water?" or "May I go get a drink of water?"

Or in the UK, �Can I have a drink of water? � �Can i go and get a drink of water?� |

Bruce �s version is very polite. Lynne �s version is more common in everyday language, in my opinion, in the US, too. |
