winos
Cheap bottle addicts
Winos is the plural of wino, a disparaging term for a person addicted to cheap wine or alcohol generally—someone visibly down on their luck due to drinking: The park bench was occupied by a couple of winos.
The word conjures images of shabby figures clutching bottles in paper bags.
