ガブッと
がぶっと and がぶり both describe a forceful bite or gulp, but がぶっと is the more casual, emphatic variant often heard in speech.
パクリ
ぱくり emphasizes opening the mouth wide to take a bite, while がぶり emphasizes the force and vigor of the bite or gulp itself.
がぶがぶN1
がぶがぶ describes gulping down liquid repeatedly in large quantities, often with a sense of excess, while がぶり focuses on a single emphatic bite or gulp.
ごくり
ごくり describes a single audible swallow of liquid, whereas がぶり can describe a forceful bite as well as a gulp.

被かぶり
かぶり means shaking one's head (as in かぶりを振る), while がぶり describes a forceful bite or gulp, so the two are easily confused by sound alone.

Mimetic word; the exact origin is uncertain, but it likely imitates the sound or motion of a forceful bite or gulp.
