How to use swig in a sentence?
I didnt switch back, i took a swig and said, This is real!
If you could have offered me a pill that could make me straight, I would have swallowed it before you could give me a swig of water, it's a hard thing to think about now. If you had shown me exactly what it was that made me gay, I would have cut it out with a knife.
