chug
Drain without pausing
Chug is the repetitive sound of an engine laboring steadily: The old truck chugged up the hill.
By extension, to chug along is to move or progress steadily if not quickly: The project chugs along.
Separately, to chug a drink is to swallow it continuously without pausing for breath: He chugged the entire beer in seconds.
