Carouse (Intransitive Verb)- To drink liquor freely or excessively

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/carouse

I encountered the word while reading our second article and it stood out to me because it was a word I had not seen, heard, or encountered in any other reading.  I deciphered the word from it context and knew it related to his addiction.

“But Mr.Self has been clean for eight years or so, and some of the energy he used to expend on carousing now goes into epic hikes, sometimes as long as 100 miles – from London, say, into the Lea valley and through the Epping Forest to north Essex”.

Sentence: I try not to carouse when I am going through a stressful time in my life.
