drinker
One who quaffs
A drinker is someone who drinks, almost always referring to alcohol.
The word usually implies regular consumption: He's a heavy drinker, She's not much of a drinker.
Without qualification, drinker often suggests problem drinking, though modifiers like social or moderate soften this.
A drinker can also be a container designed for animals to drink from.
