Answer:
1) This means you are thinking while you are drinking.
2) Plastic in this sense just means artificial or not natural.
3) Ships usually sink in the sea. Sinking into an armchair suggests that the chair is very soft and the person
sitting down is rather heavy, so he goes down quite deep into the furniture
4) Throwing open the door is more theatrical than merely
opening the door. It creates the impression of surprise
and drama when Lady Alroy enters. Lord Murchison
may also use the phrase to make his story sound more
exciting.
5) When you catch sight of someone, you do see them,
but not usually very long or very clearly.
