rummy
Habitual heavy drinker
Rummy is a family of card games where players draw and discard to form sets and runs—groups of matching cards or sequences in the same suit.
Gin rummy and canasta are popular variants.
Separately, rummy is dated slang for a drunkard, from rum: The old rummy sat at the end of the bar.
