abstemious (adj)
Restraint in consuming food or alcohol.
"Well, I ain't one to preach the abstemious life, but he's got a problem with the juice."
"Abstemious?" Mike arched his eyebrows. "Where'd you learn that word?"
--Mark Winegardner, Mario Puzo, The Godfather Returns
I don't have any godparents. I wonder if that explains anything.
