Bebi or He bebido esta noche?
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past (Perfecto vs Indefinido)"

Hola Christophe
As a general usage it is the simple past (indefinido) unless you want to emphasise a recent action as the lesson explains. There's no indication here about that emphasis, so we need to assume this is the general use of the indefinido, mostly used in Latin America.
