Guzzle booze is more close, but still doesn't convey exact meaning. жрать is often used for eating, and is only used for drinking when you want to express it in especially degradatory way. We would use word жрать for describing the way the pig eats. Like I said, I find the words very ... peculiar.

I use command convert from imagemagick package to do conversion. It can do dithering and other nice things. Plus, commandline image manipulation is particularly 'leet' way of doing thins on Linux ;-)
