Is there any difference between "Is there something wrong?" and "Is there anything wrong?"? Also, you would say "He would like something to drink" but "Would you like anything to drink?", right? I'd appreciate if any one could explain the usage of "something" and "anything".

As far as I can remember, this was a typical middle school exam question for British English in my years.
I'm not sure what is the case in American English though.
