Seriously, I think "giving them a drink" is the best phrase. Maybe "serving them" comes close.
"Drinking them" sounds like you're trying to suck the other person up with a straw.
"Watering them" sounds like you're p***ing on them.
If you give them food, you're feeding them ... if you give them drink, you're "drunking" them? "Dranking"? "Dosing", "drowning", "dribbling"?
I think *I'd* better start drinking heavily myself...

You can feed and water an animal - people talk about watering the horses, for instance, but there is no word for "giving a drink" to someone.

There is no equivalent term specifically for beverages. You could talk about hydrating someone if you gave them water, but generally we talk about serving drinks.
