dissolutely
In wanton abandon
Dissolutely means in a manner given over to pleasure-seeking and moral laxity—living without restraint or discipline, especially regarding drink, sex, or other indulgences: He spent his inheritance dissolutely, carousing through Europe.
The word carries a tone of moral judgment, suggesting not just enjoyment but reckless abandon of propriety.
