Well, if you need to give an example of the word "swilling" from Freak the Mighty, the character that comes to mind immediately is Loretta Lee. The reason why is that Loretta Lee is known for being a drunk. She is most often shown as having both a drink and a cigarette in her hands.

If you have to draw a picture of one of the characters "swilling" a drink, I would try to draw the picture of when Loretta Lee opens the door to both Kevin and Max (when they try to return her purse). I would draw the two standing together (with Kevin on Max's shoulders) as Freak the Mighty and Loretta Lee standing in the open door with a cigarette in one hand and "swilling" her drink in the other. This is not only an accurate depiction but also an example from the book.
In regards to synonyms and antonyms, they are many and varied. Two synonyms of "swilling" are "guzzling" and "slurping." In regards to antonyms, two are "sipping" and "tasting." Both of these words indicate someone drinking quite daintily (which would be the opposite of drinking greedily).
