bibbing

Frequent alcoholic consumption

Bibbing is drinking, especially drinking alcohol frequently or habitually.

The word comes from bib, an old verb meaning to drink or tipple.

Bibbing carries a mildly humorous or old-fashioned tone: His weekend bibbing left him sluggish on Mondays.

A person who bibs is a bibber—a wine bibber drinks wine to excess.
