@kasong
Inumán - To drink from something/somewhere (locative focus)
 
1). John will drink beer from the restaurant (contemplated aspect)
 
2) John drank beer from the restaurant (completed aspect)

I'm not sure about the first one, thats the infinitive, not sure if you can command a person other than "you". But I'm just a layman.
 
Inuman mo ng tubig ang toilet. = Drink water from the toilet.

Honestly, none makes sense to me. What are you trying to say?
 
Both sound like you are trying to drink the beer from the restaurant in the sense that the restaurant is the container of the beer

@kasong
 
Correct: Uminom ng beer si John sa restawran
 
Locative is awkward meaning the sentence doesn’t really make sense since you would be using the restaurant as a container …. Like literally you are drinking beer from the restaurant…

To mean the restaurant is the place where you usually get your beer, it's better to say
 
Sa restauwan ko kinukuha yung beer
 
If you want to use "inom" in the sense that the restaurant is where you hangout to drink beer, it's usually used in a social context
 
Sa restawran kami nagiinuman ng mga kaibigan ko.

Do you mean it is awkward to use the locative focus structure for the meaning
"John drank a beer in the restaurant." ?

I thought the locative focus structure could be applied to every locative adverbials.
But it does not seems to be the case, does it?

Object focus and locative focus don't literally mean object and location.
See the examples here:
 
www.hawaii.edu/filip ino/Grammar_Topics/G rammar_2-2.html#:~:t ext=Top%20of%20
 
"The verbal affixes that indicate that the subject is the location of the action or that the action is done toward that direction include -in, -an, and pag...an."
