chugalug

Drain without pausing

Chugalug means to drink something quickly and continuously without pausing, typically beer or another beverage: He chugalugged the entire pint in one go.

The word is imitative—suggesting the gulping sound of rapid drinking.

Also spelled chug-a-lug.

The shorter form chug carries the same meaning: She chugged her water before the race.
