script.Parent:WaitForChild("DrinkSound")

Local scripts (that run on the client) may need to wait for instances to load/replicate (on the server).

The script doesn’t contain a ‘DrinkSound’ child instance.

local drink_sound = script.DrinkSound

Instead of using script.DrinkSound you need to use script.Parent.DrinkSound since it’s a parent of the tool.
