Alcoholically

/ælkəˈhɒlɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to, caused by, or characteristic of alcohol or alcoholism.

Etymology

From 'alcoholic' plus '-ally' (adverb suffix), following standard English word formation patterns.

Kelly Says

Using '-ally' to turn 'alcoholic' into an adverb shows how English stacks suffixes—it's the same pattern as 'typical' → 'typically' or 'tragic' → 'tragically.'
