I wrote these sentences, but can you tell me if they are correct, especially the underlined words? "From my childhood to early adulthood, I noticed that Dad was a drunkard. When I was in my mid-40's, however, I observed that he was not a drunkard anymore."

0A drunkard is an acceptable noun. I shortened it the next time it was used to allow variation instead of repetitive wording. "I observed that he was no longer drunk" is the best wording that I can think of for the last sentence.
