The term "chronic drunks" refers to individuals who habitually consume alcohol in excessive amounts. However, using this term can be stigmatizing and insensitive. Other related terms that can be used to refer to these individuals include alcohol-dependent, alcoholics, heavy drinkers, problem drinkers, and people with a drinking problem. These terms carry less negative connotations and are more descriptive of the behavior and condition of the individuals. It is important to use the appropriate terminology when talking or writing about individuals who struggle with alcohol addiction, as this can help reduce the shame and social stigma associated with this disease.
