boozers
Habitual alcohol consumers
Boozers are people who drink alcohol heavily or habitually.
The word carries a tone of mild disapproval or affectionate resignation rather than harsh judgment: My uncle and his fellow boozers would close down the bar every Friday.
In British English, a boozer is also a pub: Let's pop down to the boozer for a pint.
