eat vs. have breakfast

"Hello everyone, I noticed that you're discussing the difference between using 'eat' and 'have' for breakfast. While it's true that technically we should say 'have breakfast' since we drink coffee or milk with our food, in everyday English, 'eat breakfast' is perfectly acceptable and commonly used. Since language evolves based on how people actually use it, both phrases are OK to use. Don't overthink it!"
