Alkonavt - lit "alco-naut." An alcoholic. As in - "Grab a litrovka and come over. We're launching an alconautical expedition, with you as lead alconaut."
Alkash - lit. "alkie". A cute way of calling someone an alcoholic.
Buharik - lit. "shwazzler", assuming that the verb "buhat''" means "to schwazzle", which is what I'm translating it as, so let's go with it. A cute way of calling someone a drunk. Not the same as calling someone "drunkie", though, since we already have a word for that. See below.
Pyanitsa - lit. "a drunk". Can be conjugated as "pyanishka", "pyanushka", "pyantus", "pyashka", and other absurdly diminutive/affectionate ways of calling someone a worthless bottle-dweller. Approximate English equivalents - "drunkie", "drunkola", "drunkzilla" - don't carry half the love.
