They all mean "beber" in Spanish but the difference is in how you drink. The first one implies small gulps, the second one implies normal gulps and the last one implies that you gobble what you are drinking. In conclusion, they have to do with the quantity and the speed with which you drink.
I agree Daphne. It's amazing how some words (in any language) link to the action. "Sip": sudden, fast; "Chung": slow, easy. That's the mistery of Semantics and how humans create words.
