A person who is so addicted to alcohol, that they require alcohol in order to perform simple day to day tasks. This is different from a functional alcoholic, which is someone who can function without drinking and is merely an insufferable fuckwad when they haven't had a drink in a while.
Did you hear about Dave? He's turned into a dysfunctional alcoholic and his house is being reposessed.
