Mr. Jan's definitions
I agree this term came from "Deadwood", but I don't think it means drunk or drunkard specifically. I think a more accurate definition would be clueless bastard or loser or lowlife, or particularly a combination of these.
In the show, these people often tend to be drunk or drinking, but not always.

Go get those hoople heads out of the street, before they get run over.
