Just repeating that it makes sense doesn't make it so. Drink refers to either the present tense action or the item. What do you call stoned driving? Marijuana driving? Smoke driving?

Miss me with the buzzed=/=drunk nonsense. Buzzed is just the lower tier of drunkenness.

Skim milk is silly.
Never said that it wasn't, but it remains the convention here. Could be to preserve label space like I mentioned earlier, could also be because "skimmed" invokes an image of a worker dipping a net into a big vat of milk which might not be the most appealing image to associate with your drink.
