Rum nose is a slang term used to describe a red or bulbous nose often associated with excessive alcohol consumption. There are various synonyms used to describe this condition, such as drunkard's nose, alcoholic nose, gin blossom, and beer nose. The term gin blossom originates from the appearance of tiny blood vessels that resemble blooming flowers on the nose. Alcoholic nose is a more general term used to describe all types of nose damage caused by alcoholism. Other synonyms for rum nose include whiskey nose, wine nose, or even saucepan nose. In any case, these terms point towards the same medical condition, which is a serious sign of alcohol abuse and liver damage.
