Having the inclination to consume non-alcoholic “mocktail” beverages but not exclusively, opting for alcoholic beverages on occasion. Analogous to the term flexitarian for meat-eating.

Origin: portmanteau of ABV (acronym for “alcohol by volume”) + dextrous (having an ability) similar to ambidextrous (able to use either hand dominantly).

Rahul enjoys a boozy cocktail some days, but is drinking non-alcoholic wine tonight. He’s socially abvidextrous.
