slamming back
Drinking in gulps
Slamming back means drinking something quickly and forcefully, typically alcohol: We were slamming back shots at the bar.
The phrase suggests vigorous, decisive consumption rather than sipping—throwing the drink back in one motion.
It can extend to food eaten hastily or pills swallowed without ceremony.
