Russian term or phrase: лица с хроническим алкоголизмом
В принципе эти товарищи пациентами не являлись, они были в группе сравнения, по тексту: 7 лиц, cтрадавшим хроническим алкоголизмом, умерших от острого алкогольного отравления.

*Лица с хроническим алкоголизмом* отличались только дистонией интрамуральных артерий.

Правомочно ли написать "suffered from", если они нигде от него не лечились и больными себя не считали?

Спасибо за ваши комментарии!

Alcoholics
Explanation:
Sure thing, you can say chronic alcoholics or longtime alcoholics - there's plenty of usage examples for both - but in natural English this is really an unnecessary overkill. The word itself says it all, and nothing else is needed. You'd really be better off not trying to translate verbatim here.
