gluttonies
Sins of excess
Gluttonies is the plural of gluttony, the habit or practice of eating and drinking to excess.
The word extends beyond food to characterize any form of greedy overconsumption: the gluttonies of the ultra-wealthy.
In Christian tradition, gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins.
The plural form appears when distinguishing types or instances of excessive indulgence: the various gluttonies of modern consumer culture.
