guzzle v.t., v.i.: ingurgitate

[T]he French cling patriotically to their contrariness, buoyed no doubt by their recent defiance of all Western, Eastern and alternative medicine in being the one country that can laugh at heart disease as its people ingurgitate the red wine, triple-cream cheeses and foie gras that kill everyone else. (Jonathan Reynolds, The Death of French Food, The New York Times, 07/23/2000.)
