Technically you can drink lots of things that don't contain water, pure mercury or liquid oxygen.

Only said that it was possible, not that anyone would survive it.

Or pure ethanol, which doesn't kill you but puts you in a party mood rather quickly.

Could switch it up for pure methanol also which will have you partying for a few minutes and then kill you.

Technically there's glycerin, which is very much not water while being safe to consume in pure form.
Which is in general not the case with alcohols, you'll get burns on your tongue, in your throat and maybe internal organs from alcohol sucking water out of them.
Acids will give you burns too, even more severe.
So yeah, pretty much your choice is water or glycerin.
