Definition of Absteiner

Ab*stain"er (&?;), n. One who abstains; esp., one who abstains from the use of intoxicating liquors.

- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

ABSTAINER, n. A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying
himself a pleasure. A total abstainer is one who abstains from
everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the
affairs of others.

Said a man to a crapulent youth: "I thought
You a total abstainer, my son."
"So I am, so I am," said the scapegrace caught --
"But not, sir, a bigoted one."

G.J.

- 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue

  • One who abstains; especially, one who abstains from the use of intoxicating liquors.
