    The word is warm and a bit playful. It makes drinking sound like a small pleasure or a habit, not a problem — you would not use it about someone who drinks too much.

    Two more things. It is countable, so you can say 'a tipple' meaning one drink: 'I might have a little tipple before bed.' And there is a verb 'to tipple', meaning to drink alcohol regularly in small amounts. The verb is rarer and does carry a gentle hint of drinking a bit too often — 'he tippled all afternoon' — but it is still mild and almost rather than serious.
