quaffers
Those who gulp
Quaffers are people who quaff—who drink heartily and with gusto.
The word suggests enthusiastic, deep drinking rather than delicate sipping: The pub was full of ale quaffers celebrating the match.
It carries a jovial, old-fashioned quality, evoking tavern scenes more than modern bars.
