pissheads

Perpetually inebriated people

Pissheads is British slang for people who drink heavily or are frequently drunk.

The term is mildly contemptuous: The pub was full of pissheads by closing time.

A single such person is a pisshead.

The word combines piss (here meaning alcohol or drunkenness) with the suffix -head denoting a person characterized by something.
