(redirected from the booze hound)

boozehound

slang One who is apt to drink alcohol often and excessively; an alcoholic. "Booze" is a slang term for alcohol derived from the Middle Dutch word būsen, meaning "to drink to excess." Geez, if we go to the bar a third time this week, we're gonna look like a couple of boozehounds! Yeah, I drink sometimes, but I'm no boozehound. I just have a glass of wine every so often. I used to be a real boozehound and spent all of my time in bars, but that was before I went to rehab.
