From Lesson 44:The verb to drink (boire)·French

Questions & Answers about J'ai soif, je bois une bouteille d'eau.

The translation says "I am drinking", but the French is je bois. Doesn't that just mean "I drink"?
In French, there is no separate "am drinking" or "are drinking" form. The present tense je bois translates to both "I drink" (in general) and "I am drinking" (right now).
Why does bois end with an 's' here?
For the irregular verb boire (to drink), the "I" and "you" forms in the present tense both end in 's': je bois (I drink) and tu bois (you drink). The 's' is silent, so it just sounds like "bwa".
Why is the translation "I am thirsty" when J'ai means "I have"?
In French, you don't use the verb "to be" for certain physical feelings like hunger or thirst. Instead of saying "I am thirsty", you use the verb avoir (to have) and say J'ai soif (I have thirst).
Water is usually l'eau, so why is it just d'eau in this sentence?
When you use a container or quantity word, like une bouteille (a bottle) or un verre (a glass), it is always followed by just de or d' (of), without the word for "the". So it becomes une bouteille d'eau, not une bouteille de l'eau.
