This expression is no longer used except in the negative form "it is not the sea to drink", often to mean to someone who imagines having a mountain to lift that in the end, what he has to do is well. easier than he thinks.
It is a metaphor which dates from the XNUMXth century and which our usual friend Jean de La Fontaine uses in "The Two Dogs and the Dead Donkey".
When we know the difficulty of swallowing a whole bottle of water very quickly, we can imagine that the sea to drink is an enterprise that goes beyond the limits of the possible.
The image conveyed by the expression is therefore that of a task that can only be achieved at the cost of often insurmountable difficulties.
