  Tope \Tope\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Toped} (t[=o]pt); p. pr. & vb.
     n. {Toping}.] [F. t[^o]per to cover a stake in playing at
     dice, to accept an offer, t[^o]pe agreed!; -- perhaps
     imitative of the sound of striking hands on concluding a
     bargain. From being used in English as a drinking term,
     probably at first in accepting a toast.]


     To drink hard or frequently; to drink strong or spiritous
     liquors to excess.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           If you tope in form, and treat.          --Dryden.
