quaffer
One who gulps
A quaffer is someone who drinks heartily or with gusto, typically alcohol.
The word suggests enthusiastic consumption rather than measured sipping: The pub was full of quaffers raising their pints.
It carries a jovial, slightly old-fashioned tone—you're more likely to encounter it in descriptions of medieval feasts or beer advertisements than everyday speech.
