Alcoholic walk?: Like when you are drunk? Wide based gait rocking from side to side? or as part of a syndrome you get from chronic drinking called Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. The gait is called ataxia and is due to among other things loss of coordination.

Alcoholic walk: Do you mean drunk? Usually this would be off balance in the context of alcohol consumption and resolve as the alcohol wears off out of the system. As the other doctor says there are some more longterm alcohol related neurological conditions that cause troubles with walking (gait disturbance) that would require a GP examination and may need tests and neurology referral to sort out
