Those who suffer deeply touch life at every point: they drain the cup to the dregs while others sip only the bubbles on top. those who suffer a lot have experienced every part of life and know what life really means while others only see something on the surface of the life. “drain/drink the cup to the dregs”literally means “to empty the cup by drinking”. The author uses it figuratively “to imply to experience fully esp. Something unpleasant”, i.e. To suffer all the bitterness of life. “sip”means to drink a very small amount at a time and “bubble” is something empty.

He drained a glass of water and asked for another one. in one drink he drained his cup dry. Cf.
