boozehounds
Lovers of liquor
Boozehounds are people who drink alcohol excessively or habitually.
The term is informal and mildly disparaging, treating heavy drinking as a defining trait—like a hound on the scent: My uncle and his boozehound buddies spent every weekend at the bar.
Less harsh than alcoholic, more colorful than heavy drinker.
