'drunk' is the definition.
(alcoholic is a kind of drunk)

'everyone transporting fish on island caught' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'transporting' is an insertion indicator.
'fish on' becomes 'coho' (coho is a kind of fish. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'island' becomes 'i'.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'all' placed around 'coho' is 'alcohol'.
'alcohol'+'i'+'c'='ALCOHOLIC'
