The act of engaging in activities that debilitate the faculties, either mental or physical, and tend to have as their object or end result things that produce short term gains at the expense of long term improvement. Most commonly associated with imbibing substances, such as alcohol or marijuana. In contrast with those who rigorize, those who de-rigorize tend to not as readily realize or accept what will result from their actions. It is, as a rule of thumb, then, less dictated by sound rational choice and conscious decision than the act of rigorizing.
