To build on mizinamo's earlier statement, words that have the ß in their original and formal forms can be substituted with "ss" (for reasons such as Unicode or keyboards lacking the key for the letter), but not vice versa.
To drink is trinken, I drink is ich trinke, you drink is du trinkst, you two (or more) drink is ihr trinkt, but I would say to each unknown person and to the most of my neighbours: Sie (capitalized) trinken. You can use "Sie" almost like the English "you", the same in the singular and in the plural.
You have to choose the right form depending on the subject. Please read the tips and notes.
