Word origin
The verb 'chug' originated in the early 19th century as an onomatopoeic word imitating the sound of an engine or the act of drinking in gulps. It was first used in reference to trains and later extended to describe the action of drinking quickly. The noun form 'chug' as a train engine also derived from this onomatopoeic origin. The word has since become a popular term in casual speech to describe both drinking and the sound of engines.
