Now define draft.

For ships, it is the vertical distance from the waterline to the deepest part of the vessel. This is usually the keel.

For sports, it is a way of teams choosing who they are going to throw a pile of money at.

For beer, it is drawn from a keg rather than a bottle or can.

Nicely done. I kind of knew, sort of. Thanks for these posts.

Then, of course, if you leave the window open, you may feel a draft.
