rummies
Habitual alcohol abusers
Rummies is the plural of rummy, a person who drinks too much alcohol—a drunk or habitual drinker.
The term is somewhat dated and carries a dismissive tone: The bar was full of old rummies nursing their drinks.
Separately, rummies can refer to multiple card games in the rummy family, though "rummy games" is more natural for that sense.
