dissoluteness
Life of excess
Dissoluteness is indulgence in sensual pleasures without moral restraint—a life given over to drinking, sexual excess, and general debauchery.
The word carries judgment: a dissolute person has let their character dissolve into vice.
The dissoluteness of his final years shocked even his old drinking companions.
