Dipsomania is the official medical term related to an uncontrollable craving for alcohol. It means "compulsive thirst" but the term when used, is reserved primarily related to the consumption of alcohol. As a result, a dipsomaniac is a person in which this condition appears, in the form of a physical and psychological craving for
ethyl alcohol, especially liquor. However, the obsession is so compulsive that the dipsomanic will ingest whatever intoxifying liquid which is at hand, whether it is fit for consumption or not. Dipsomania differs from
alcoholism in that it is an uncontrollable periodic lust for alcohol, with, in the interim, no desire for alcoholic beverages. However when dipsomania manifests, it usually results in multi-day or weekly episodes of excessive binge drinking and blackouts. It generally involves solitary alcohol abuse in combination with the loss of interest in any other usual activities. It is not known what causes dipsomania, it is thought that enzyme deficiencies may contribute to its root cause, in part contributing to depressive illness in many dipsomaniacs.
