gulping
Drinking in mouthfuls
Gulping is swallowing hastily or in large mouthfuls, often audibly: gulping down coffee before rushing out.
The word suggests urgency or greed rather than measured consumption.
Gulping can also describe taking in air convulsively, as when crying or struggling to breathe: She was gulping back tears.
