Common Mispronunciations of Drank
Not DRAYNK
Keep the a flat and short, as in bank and thank. Lengthening it to ay gives no English word at all.
Not duh-RANGK
The dr pair runs together as one opening. A vowel wedged between them adds a beat the word does not have.
Tip: An n before a k turns into the ng of sing, so the word is really DRANGK. Drink and drunk do the same.
