Polydipsia

Postby Slava » Fri Mar 27, 2015 1:42 pm

While a medical term for excessive thirst, I can see it being used in other ways, too. Perhaps one can have polydipsia for beer?

I read about a woman so addicted to Coca-Cola that she hit 10 liters a day before she died. Sounds like a place to use this one to me.

Thanks for the definition. Just seeing it, I would have thought Polly got baptized.

Perhaps Polly is a dipsomaniac with polydipsia? Or did she just go for a short swim several times?
