A Teetotaller is one

  • A.Who has grown old in or had long experience of service or occupation.
  • B.Who totally abstains from alcoholic drinks
  • C.Who abandons his religious faith
  • D.Who abstains from animal food, especially meat.

Answer: B

A teetotaller is one who totally abstains from alcoholic drinks.

The word is usually explained as coming from 'T-total', a stress on total abstinence used in the temperance movement of the 1830s.

The other options are other one-word substitutions: a person with long experience of a service is a veteran, one who abandons his religious faith is an apostate, and one who abstains from animal food, especially meat, is a vegetarian.
