Mathesius’s notes in Loesche, “Analecta Lutherana et Melanthoniana,” p. 100: “Then I would permit you a good drink; nam ebrietudo est ferenda, non ebriositas.” Forcellini’s definition: “ebriositas=propensio in ebrictatem.” According to Loesche, Luther himself invented the word “ebrietudo.” Luther says of the Elector Johann Frederick in his work, “Wider Hans Worst”: “Sometimes he takes a drink too much, which we are sorry to see,” but it was untrue that he was “a drunkard and led a disorderly life” (“Werke,” Erl. ed., 26², p. 74).
