Relating to, characterized by, or affected by dipsomania; having an uncontrollable craving for alcohol.
Formed from 'dipsomaniac' plus the Latin adjective suffix '-al', creating an adjectival form that can describe behaviors, conditions, or individuals related to chronic alcoholism.
Adding '-al' to 'dipsomaniac' creates a version you can use for describing situations or behaviors—'dipsomaniacal tendencies' sounds clinical, which is exactly why 19th-century doctors preferred medical language over everyday insults for discussing addiction.
