Crook one's elbow is a US slang idiom meaning to drink alcohol — specifically to lift a glass to one's lips, the gesture of drinking. The phrase is a metonym: the physical act of bending the elbow to bring a drink to the mouth represents the act of drinking itself. It carries a jocular, slightly coy register — a polite circumlocution for drinking that implies the activity is habitual. Used in informal speech and writing to suggest someone drinks regularly.
