drunchies

(slang, rare) Drunk and hungry, especially when the hunger is induced by the drunkenness.

(slang) Hunger or cravings for food.

(slang, informal, or, childish) drink.

(slang) A drunkard.

An informal and slightly dismissive term for a habitual drinker or drunkard — someone who can reliably be found worse for wear. It's softer than 'alcoholic' but still carries a note of judgment or exasperation, often used by people venting about a friend, family member, or neighbour. In lighter usage it can be almost affectionate, applied self-deprecatingly after a big night out. Context and tone decide whether it stings or lands as a joke.
