A tendency toward or habit of drunkenness; habitual intoxication.
From Latin 'ebriositas,' combining 'ebriosus' (prone to drunkenness) with the '-ity' suffix. This formal noun describes a chronic condition of alcohol abuse, common in medical and moral writing.
Medieval monks writing moral treatises used 'ebriosity' to describe the sin of habitual drunkenness—it's the fancy Latin noun version of what we'd now call alcoholism.
