absinthence

The practice of restraining oneself from indulging in something sinful or potentially harmful/dangerous (i.e., sex, drugs, etc.) unless one is totally plastered on strong liquor. Can also loosely refer to someone's publicly raving against alcohol-consumption, but then secretly "boozing it up big-time" when he's alone, like the hypocritical "King" in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Gerald Strickland claimed to strongly disapprove of alcohol, yet as we saw in the "clandestine sipping" scene on Back To The Future 2, he was merely practicing absinthence.
