Do without alcohol? (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

tea party

'do without alcohol?' is the definition.
(party or 'do' with non-alcoholic drinks)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tea party that I've seen before include "sort of celebration" , "afternoon get-together" , "Staunch patriots" , "Social gathering (for Bostonians?)" , "US political movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
