Noun: refers to to the reoccuring cycle in which one gets way too drunk, wakes up, feigns some type of recovery and then submits to the need to begin drinking again thus arriving at the place where one started.

Despite popular belief, once started there is not an end to the rum cycle only an enlargening of the circle.

The name is actually a misnomer as from a personal prospective one seems to start from the same spot but has actually sunken a bit.
