Definitions
British slang for the act of drinking alcohol, especially in a sustained, social, and enthusiastic way. Derived from "bevvy" (a drink), bevvying implies a proper session — pints at the pub, cans on the street corner, drinks at a party. It's an affectionate term that normalizes boozy socializing without judgment, deeply embedded in British working-class speech and still heard constantly across England.
We spent the whole afternoon bevvying in the beer garden before the match even started.
