party drinker

Celebration alcohol consumer

A party drinker is someone who drinks alcohol primarily in social settings rather than alone or habitually.

The term often implies moderate or controlled drinking—someone who enjoys a few drinks at gatherings but doesn't drink otherwise: I'm not much of a drinker, just a party drinker.

It can also function as a self-description to downplay drinking habits.
