Alcoholic、drunkard和inebriate 均有“酗酒者”的含义。

Alcoholic：A person who suffers from the illness of alcoholism。指酒精中毒病人或酗酒成性者，多从医学角度指无法控制其酒量者，故为更常用的法律词汇，翻译为“酗酒者”。

Drunkard：Drunkard caries a tone of condemnation and can apply justly only to someone who frequently drinks past the point of sobriety。常带有谴责的含义，指经常过度饮酒而醉者。 缩写为drunk。可翻译为“酒鬼；醉汉”。

Inebriate：A person under the influence of or addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors。为技术性术语，指当时正处于醉酒状态者，多被alcoholic所取代。
