Words used for drinking

Last week in one of the English classes I teach at the Mall of America, we started to talk about all the different words that can be used to describe drinking. The one most commonly used, of course is "drink." However, there are some others you might like to know about:

sip = a small amount of liquid. She slowly sipped her tea.

gulp = a big amount. He gulped down a large Coke.

chug = a big amount. Let's chug our beers and go to a different bar. ("chug" is often used for beer)

nurse = a small amount, also usually used with beer. I have to drive later, so I'm nursing my beer.

Hi Paul,

Would it be possible for you to give a search facility in your website? I read about "conjunction" a couple of days ago and I'm unable to locate it.

Thanks,
Y

Okay. I'll look into that. I use Google on my website for searching. Perhaps it's not working properly.
