              no. adjectives describe nouns...we drank the cold water  (cold is the adjective).

                It would be an adjective in " the water tank is empty"

                      Not after you drank it, it will be urinated.

                        It would be a noun, as is anything, that is either an object, place, or thing.

                          We drank the water.  Water is a noun, of course (a thing), but is also the object of the predicate in this sentence.  
                          We is the subject.
                          Drank is the verb, or predicate
                          Water is the object of the verb/predicate (Who or what is drunk?  the WATER)
