(I've changed the header to indicate more directly what the question is)
I trust that the appropriate references -- which should have been
consulted in the first place -- will resolve any doubts (i.e. unless
someone can show that BDAG and L&N are in error in their entries on
this word):
BDAG: "PAROINOS is used of people in all these exx.: pert. to one
who is given to drinking too much wine, addicted to wine, drunken"
L&N: "88.288 MEQUSOS, OUυ m; OINOPOTHS, OU m; PAROINOS, ου m: a
person who habitually drinks too much and thus becomes a drunkard
— ‘drunkard, heavy drinker.’
