debauched
Given to excess
Debauched describes someone given over to excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures—drinking, sex, drugs, or general dissolution.
A debauched lifestyle suggests moral corruption and a lack of restraint.
The word carries strong connotations of degradation and excess beyond mere enjoyment: The debauched aristocrats spent their fortunes on wine and women.
Someone debauched has abandoned conventional standards of behavior, usually in ways that damage themselves or others.
