Could you please tell me if it is okay to say "for me" in this example
Hello, could you please tell me if it is okay to say "for me" in this example "I'm thirsty, I'm going to get a drink for me". To me, it seems, that I don't really have to use "for me" here. It's obvious that the drink I'm going to take will be for me. But on the other hand, sometimes I just want to say that way. I want to be sure that if I say "for me" here, I won’t sound stupid. Please tell me what you think!

Is it a cockney word or universal? Context: The novel is *Hickory Dickory Dock* by Agatha Christie.The woman is the matron of a student hostel and the man is one of the students.
