He has been a heavy drinker since his youth and ruined his health.
More common and colloquial term for a drunkard.
Abbreviation of アルコール中毒; refers to alcoholism or an alcoholic, often used casually.
Compound of 飲み (nomi, 'drinking', the continuative form of 飲む) and 抜け (nuke, 'passing through' or 'escaping', from 抜ける). The exact derivation is uncertain; it may refer to someone who 'drinks through' or 'drinks away' their life.
