social drinkers
Moderate alcohol consumers
Social drinkers are people who drink alcohol primarily in social settings rather than alone, and without compulsion or dependency.
The term implies moderation—someone who has a glass of wine at dinner or a beer at a party but doesn't need alcohol to function: He's just a social drinker, maybe two beers on the weekend.
The phrase often appears in contrast to problem drinkers or alcoholics.
