If you ‘put away’ food or drink, it can mean you eat or drink a lot of it. (Obviously, it can also mean that you place the food or drink in a fridge or cupboard – the context of the sentence should make clear the meaning.)
- He has put away some sandwiches but is still hungry.
If you consume a lot of drink (usually alcohol) quickly, you ‘knock it back’. This is informal and is often used quite negatively.
- He was knocking back the champagne at the reception.
- We must watch Bill carefully in the bar with the clients. He can really knock it back.
If you eat an excessive amount of food, you ‘pig out’. This is informal.
- I’m not hungry because I pigged out on chocolate this afternoon.
- We really pigged out in the restaurant.
