Today's Parola del Giorno is the noun, il beone, which means boozer or lush. 

See the noun used below:

Un bicchiere o due di vino durante la cena non è male. Però una persona che beve una o due bottiglie durante la cena è proprio un beone! Non so come faccia Gianni a bere così tanto!

A glass or two of wine during dinner is not bad. But a person that drinks one or two bottles during dinner is a real boozer! I don't know how Gianni can drink so much! 

The noun beone

1
comes from the Latin word bibonis, which has the same meaning. Don’t forget that the Italian verb bere (to drink) is irregular in the present tense.

In some Italian literary works, you might see it written as bevone.
