glugged

Drank with sound

Glugged is the past tense of glug, which describes the sound liquid makes when poured from a bottle or container—that rhythmic, bubbling noise as air enters and liquid exits.

To glug is to pour or drink with this sound: She glugged wine into the glasses, He glugged down half a bottle of water.

The word imitates the sound it names.
