Another possible etymology

From Chambers 1908: "tip + -le", frequentative, i.e. repeatedly tipping the glass to drink. Equinox 17:51, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

That's what I'd always assumed it was ... though I've only ever heard it in the alcohol sense, and not used very often. Soap 22:53, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
