'always get a drink out of them' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'you' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'you' could be 'u' (commonly used in online communication) and 'u' is found in the answer.

This explanation may well be incorrect...

'can' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
