free-liver
One who indulges
A free-liver is someone who indulges freely in food, drink, and pleasure without restraint.
The term suggests a life of excess and self-gratification: He was a notorious free-liver who spent his fortune on wine and women.
The word is old-fashioned, more common in 19th-century moralistic writing than in contemporary speech.
