Running the taps

Drinking to excess, a reference to the constant pouring of beer from taps at the bar.

Can't come to work today, got a massive headache from running the taps last night

run the taps

To drink one of every beer available on tap at a given bar.

Dave and I are going over to the pub to run the taps.

Runs out like tap water

A phrase reserved for pool players, it essentially means a player is able to get out (pocket all his balls) most or all of the time. Following this, you turn over all of your cash to him.

Damn, that dude can flat play! He runs out like tap water!
