C'est alors que l'on commence à boire d'une façon plus suivie; à l’œnolisme aigu, succède peu à peu l’œnolisme chronique que nous constatons le plus souvent aujourd'hui, du moins chez l'ouvrier qui, imbu du préjugé que le vin donne des forces, arrive à boire, en moyenne, de 2 à 3 litres de vin par jour.
Si le mot "alcoolisme" est la définition « usuelle », le terme "œnolisme" est une expression plus médicale et assez élégante, mais à la campagne, on appelle ça tout bonnement "l’ivrognerie". Voilà un mot qui dit ce qu'il veut dire !
