debauchee

Lover of excess

A debauchee is a person given to excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures—drinking, sex, and other physical gratifications.

The word carries moral judgment, suggesting someone who has abandoned restraint: The old debauchee spent his inheritance on wine and women.

It's a literary or formal term, less common than simpler words like hedonist or libertine.
