A blunt, unflattering slang term for a chronic drunkard or heavy drinker — someone whose relationship with alcohol has become their most defining characteristic. Unlike gentler terms like "boozehound" or "lush," boozebag has an almost contemptuous edge, suggesting someone who is beyond moderation and probably beyond help. Used in casual speech to describe both real people and fictional characters notorious for their drinking.
Everyone at the office knew that Derek was a boozebag, but nobody said anything until he showed up to the morning meeting slurring.
