Is setting it as an environment variable an option?

Hi:
PG v9.5.2 on RHEL
I like to use an alias to connect to my favorite DBs but don't like to enter passwords. I used to just disable passwords (working behind a firewall), but this one is different. I see nothing in the interactive connect string where I can enter the password...
psql -h thehost -U memyselfi mydb
Missing something like "-p mypassword"
Is there a way I can stick the pw in the linux alias definition ?
Just thinking something like this may be available since hardcoded passwords are supported in perl/dbi, pg driver
Thanks !
