Later after knocking back a few drinks

A divorced man meets his ex-wife's new husband at a party.

Later after knocking back a few drinks, he goes over to the new guy and asks him:

'So... How do you like using second hand stuff?'

The new husband replies: 'It isn't that bad. Past the first 2 inches it's all brand new.'

Hi,

Does "knocking back a few drinks" in the above mean "drinking a few shots" or something else? Thanks.
