Bibulosities

/ˌbɪb.juˈlɒs.ɪ.tiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of bibulosity; instances or qualities of being bibulous (drunk or addicted to drinking).

Etymology

From bibulous + -ity (state or condition) + -ies (plural). The root bibulous comes from Latin bibere (to drink), creating a noun that measures states of drunkenness.

Kelly Says

This wonderfully obscure plural noun essentially lets you talk about multiple drunk states or instances of drunkenness in scholarly language—it's what you'd use if you're academically describing a wine-tasting event gone wrong.
