Excessive or habitual drinking; the practice or behavior of drinking frequently or to excess.
From 'bibber' + suffix '-y' (noun-forming). Created the same way modern English makes 'brewery' from 'brew.'
Bibbery is an archaic word that shows how 17th-century English had very specific moral judgment words—'bibbery' explicitly condemned the behavior in its very structure, unlike neutral modern terms.
