gulpers
Those who chug
Gulpers is the plural of gulper, referring to creatures or people that gulp—swallowing hastily or greedily in large mouthfuls.
Most often the term names deep-sea eels with enormous expandable mouths that can swallow prey larger than themselves: Gulpers thrive in the lightless depths where food is scarce.
The word also describes anyone who drinks or eats rapidly: The gulpers at the bar drained their pints before I'd taken a sip.
