I assumed there was and "older" dial, so didn't mention it.  A habitual drunk will have an appearance around ten years older than he/she is after a period of time, ten or fifteen years maybe.  Those that haven't been on the bottle too long will get a ruddy color, but after a while, that fades to almost normal when drunk, more gray when sober.  A drunk isn't easy to model, there's a lot more that too many would recognize, those that have been inflicted with having to be around one.  And a lot is something you can't put into a pose, it's called attitude.  That usually boils down to "What are you ragging on me for?  I'm perfect."  But I'm trying to get the images to speak for themselves instead of having to caption them.  Not easy.

Doric.

I'm familiar with the type (for the same reason you are). I think you could get the attitude across in the pose. Depending on how far into a particular bottle the individual in question has gotten, he/she's going to be a bit wobbly and always leaning on (and then sliding down or pushing) walls, tables, counters, other people, the family dog --whatever's available. At the same time, they're pretending that they've got it all together (when they know they don't), so they're smoothing their hair (and making it worse), pushing out their chests (and losing balance as a result), and there's often an arm wavering as it searches for something to grab. In the habitual drunk, these things are more subtle because they have learned to hide the most obvious signs. (I'm sure you know perfectly well what I mean. But others may not have given it any thought.) It sounds comical to those who haven't lived with it. But if you can manage to convey the various levels of unsteadiness along with the utter lack of humility and the intimidation, people like us would recognize it right away, even if you'd used a wooden posing doll. :)

Edit: I think I'll take it on as a challenge. :) I'm not that great at posing from scratch, but I'll have to see what I can do.
