Disposomania

A psychological disorder that causes a person to keep disposing of things. It doesn't matter if they belong to him/her or not. People with such problem throw people’s stuff away without asking them. Most of it people still use it and in good conditions. A person who suffers from this disease is disposomanic.
‘I’m really sick and tired of this disposomanic; she had thrown everything I needed to break ice from the entrance door which wouldn’t close. I had to stand by all night long in case someone breaks in, while she was sleeping upstairs. I’d been telling her not to throw stuff away without asking, but she never listened. In the morning, I didn’t go to work, missed some hours from my shift, because I had to go to Canadian Tire to buy a new ice chipper. I can't handle people with disposomania anymore’

Dipsomania

Dipsomania is a historical term describing a medical condition involving an uncontrollable craving for alcohol or drugs. In the 19th century, the term dipsomania was used to refer to a variety of alcohol-related problems, most of which are known today as alcohol use disorder. Dipsomania is occasionally still used to describe a particular condition of periodic, compulsive bouts of alcohol intake. The idea of dipsomania is important for its historical role in promoting a disease theory of chronic drunkenness. The word comes from Greek dipso (Greek: "δίψα"= thirst) and mania.

The term was coined by the German physician Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland in 1819, when, in a preface to an influential book by German-Russian doctor C. von Brühl-Cramer, he translated Brühl-Cramer's term "trunk such" as "dipsomania". Brühl-Cramer classified dipsomania in terms of continuous, remittent, intermittent, periodic and mixed forms, and in his book, he discussed its cause, pathogenesis, sequelae, and treatment options, all influenced by prevailing ideas about the laws of chemistry and concepts of excitability.
So adding a hefty pour of ginger beer, some lime juice, and a dope copper mug to your vodka transforms your dipsomania into an actual weekend event.

While anxious weirdos were sprinting to the Piggly Wiggly to stock up on Wonder Bread and milk before the impending snowstorm hit, savvy folks focused more on their looming dipsomania.
