Reverse Teetotaler

A person who abstains strictly from water, tea, coffee, and other non-alcoholic beverages, professing to consume only fermented or distilled liquors; an individual who avoids sobriety with the same rigor a teetotaler avoids alcohol.

The club is populated by reverse teetotalers who view the tea urn with deep suspicion and the gin bottle with reverence.
