What is the Drinkers Bulbous Nose called?

Postby Voddy » Sat May 10, 2014 4:12 pm

....remembering a drunken discussion a few weeks back,

what is the name given to the bulbous, blue-veined nose sported by committed drinkers, more commonly seen on elderly male alcoholics?

If possible, I'd like to know the medical name and the everyday name, please ;-)
