Dictionary.com gives the meaning for 'toot' (at the end of a list of
other, more accepted meanings), in the following manner:

'toot' : (noun, informal) 'a period or instance of drunken revelry;
binge; spree.'

'toot': (slang) 'to snort cocaine'

But my ground is slippery because no dictionary talks of an automatic
extension of the noun 'toot' or the verb 'toot' into the derived noun
'tooter' to mean a person who indulges in a drinking binge or one who
snorts cocaine. Therefor I guess I can't be adament about a tooter
being a drunkard or a cocaine snorter...!

Beside the above meanings, dictionary .com says in Australian informal
usage it means 'a lavatory; a toilet' and in Pennsylvania (German
area) it means 'a paper bag'.
