tipplers
Regular bar patrons
Tipplers are people who drink alcohol regularly, especially in moderate but habitual amounts.
The word suggests steady, casual drinking rather than dramatic binges—someone who enjoys their daily glass of wine or evening whiskey.
It carries a slightly old-fashioned, gently disapproving tone: The pub's regulars were harmless old tipplers.
