Etymology
The word 'guzzled' traces its origins to the early 20th century, likely derived from the colloquialism 'guzzle', which itself mimics the sound of drinking or pouring liquid quickly. The root of 'guzzle' is believed to come from the earlier term 'gusle', an old dialectal word for drinking, which reflects a sense of greediness or excessive consumption. The playful sound of the word contributes to its informal tone, making it common in conversational English. Over the years, 'guzzled' has maintained its humorous and exaggerated connotation, frequently used in light-hearted contexts to describe the act of drinking in a rather indulgent manner. Its usage has evolved but remains popular in scenarios depicting lively gatherings or intense thirst relief, often narrated with a sense of enjoyment.
