shotgunning
Puncture and chug
Shotgunning is drinking a canned beverage by puncturing a hole near the bottom, placing your mouth over it, then popping the tab—the rush of air forces the liquid out fast for rapid consumption: We shotgunned beers in the parking lot before the concert.
The term extends to any rapid, indiscriminate approach: shotgunning job applications means sending many at once without targeting.
In cannabis use, shotgunning is blowing smoke directly into another person's mouth.
