Slurper

A 'slurper' is an individual or entity that consumes liquids or semi-liquids by making a slurping sound, often due to the speed or manner of consumption. This action can be considered rude or impolite in many social settings, although it can be acceptable in specific cultural contexts, such as when eating certain types of noodles. The word itself often carries a connotation of informality and a lack of refined table manners, and it usually refers to the process and not to a tool.
