My questions
Let's check the logic. Liquids (or drinks) can easily become impure; so to alleviate that, the rabbis elevated the impact to make them become a rishon, thereby making it more "dangerous"!

The theory applies to liquids and food with water on them.

Wait a minute. Everything can be a solid, a liquid, and a gas, at different temps. Metal can be a liquid when heated enough.

Mercury is a liquid at room temp. Or is it really just common drinks or the 7 liquids, and not just any liquids?

Well, water is solid ice in some places and times. They lay food on ice sometimes, especially fish. How does that work? The fish is wet. Or is it only "room temperature?

What if there's rain on food? Or dew? Steam in the room on stuff? What if the food falls into a body of water? When you start with water but slowly add, say, oatmeal it gets thicker and thicker gradually. When is it no longer a drink or liquid? Is a drinkable yogurt or leven (like the kids have nowadays) a liquid?

I think it was Reb Hillel that said about a young couple getting married, "Kuk tzu vemen men hot gegeben dem Koiach Ayn Soif"
