I metaphor a drink at my local bar.
Similes are indirect comparisons that use the word "like" or "as" e.g You came in like a breath of fresh air. Metaphors are direct comparisons that state one thing is another. e.g You are a breath of fresh air.
A simile is a comparison between two things that uses the word like or as: Her smile is as bright as sunshine. A metaphor is a direct comparison between two things that does not use like or as: Her smile is sunshine.🌍👌
