good-time Charlie
Carefree social butterfly
A good-time Charlie is someone devoted to pleasure and socializing, often at the expense of responsibility.
The term suggests a man who's always ready for a party, free with money, and unconcerned about consequences: He was a good-time Charlie who burned through his inheritance in two years.
The phrase carries mild disapproval—fun to be around, perhaps, but not someone to rely on.
