Guzzles

/ˈɡʌzəlz/ verb

Definition

Third person singular present tense of guzzle: drinks something quickly and greedily, or uses something rapidly.

Etymology

From the verb 'guzzle,' with the standard third-person singular '-es' ending added (because 'guzzle' ends in an 'e'). The verb form has been in use since the 16th century.

Kelly Says

The way we conjugate verbs like 'guzzle' shows how English has maintained the same basic pattern for centuries—we add '-es' for 'he/she/it,' '-ed' for past tense, and '-ing' for the continuous form, patterns so automatic we don't even think about them.
