Relating to or characteristic of drinking together, or promoting social drinking and conviviality.
From 'compotation' (Latin 'compotatio') plus -ory suffix. Creates an adjective describing things associated with communal drinking.
This adjective would describe the atmosphere of a Roman tavern or a medieval hall—'compotatory customs' referred to the toasts, songs, and friendship rituals that made drinking social and meaningful rather than just consumption.
Adjective form carries male-coded assumptions about social drinking rituals historically restricted to men or male-centered spaces.
Refer to 'social gatherings' or 'convivial contexts' to avoid male-gendered connotations.
