non-drinkers

Those avoiding alcohol

Non-drinkers are people who abstain from alcohol.

The term is neutral, covering those who never started, those who quit, and those who avoid it for health, religious, or personal reasons.

The restaurant offers mocktails for non-drinkers.

Unlike "teetotaler," which can sound old-fashioned or moralistic, non-drinker is straightforwardly descriptive.
