“Guzzle”

Posted by Sunil Jose on March 7, 2009

“When you guzzle something what you are doing is eating or drinking it very quickly. You greedily gulp it down.

Examples: “Mehta guzzled gin and tonic all evening.” * “The kids guzzled down all the gulab jamuns in about five minutes.” *”Sujatha guzzled coffee all night long in order to complete the project.”
