The Oxford English Dictionary defines a drunkard as "a person who drinks alcohol to excess, especially habitually". It implies an excessive and habitual consumption of alcohol, often to the point of intoxication. Such a person may be referred to as an alcoholic, as they are likely to suffer from an addiction to alcohol.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, a drunkard is someone who is habitually drunk or who drinks to excess. The term is often used as an insult to describe someone who is an alcoholic, or is frequently drunk and engages in inappropriate behaviors. It can also be used to describe someone who is intoxicated, or has been drinking an excessive amount of alcohol in a short period of time. The term implies that the person is not in full control of their behavior and that they lack self-discipline, as drinking to excess can have damaging consequences.

The word "drunkard" is defined as someone who drinks alcohol excessively and uncontrollably. It is usually used to describe someone who has a drinking problem and consumes alcohol on a regular basis. This person is often seen as a negative character, someone who is irresponsible and reckless when it comes to drinking. They can be a danger to themselves and those around them. Even though this is a negative connotation, many people who have a drinking problem can be helped and supported to overcome their addiction.
