Beerocracy

/bɪˈrɑkrəsi/ noun

Definition

A system of government or administration dominated by beer interests, or humorously, a culture excessively focused on beer.

Etymology

Blend or compound of 'beer' and 'cracy' (from Greek -kratia, meaning rule or power, as in democracy). This playful neologism follows the pattern of other -cracy compounds to create satire.

Kelly Says

This is a delightful jab at beer-drinking cultures, suggesting that beer interests so dominate politics and social life that beer itself essentially rules—it's the kind of humorous word that emerges in very beer-centric societies.
