avvinazzato
I'm looking for a translation of 'avvinazzato' but not sure how derogatory it is. Is it more "topers", "drunk[ard]s" or "winos"?

avvinazzato looks more sophisticated on wine to me than , for instance, borracho or borracha in ESP who can get sloshed on any alcohol.
Barfly and even toper wouldn't have been inuitive UK choices for me, but - then again it was a long time ago I worked as a hotel barman or 'barista' in the South of England.

barfly
| What about "boozers"? In British English, at least, a pub is often called a "boozer" and so are the people who frequent it. Would that hit the right level? |

: I think "barflies" may be too American for Charlotte, and would involve repeating "bar", but I like "wined-up types". Another really good idea I found was "inebriants".

Thanks Phil. It wouldn't have occurred to me that barfly was too US. Not sure about that.
