chugalugging

Drinking without stopping

Chugalugging is drinking something rapidly and continuously without pause, especially beer or other beverages.

The word is playful and onomatopoeic, evoking the gulping sounds of rapid swallowing: We spent the afternoon chugalugging beers on the patio.

Often shortened to chugging.
