I don't understand this sentence clearly. Why we don't use "goes"? I think we can use it.
Please give me an explanation

The person is saying that every-time they drink their tea, something happens, not something goes, or does.

eg. Every-time they drink their tea , the phone rings. ( Something happens. )
