A confirmed teetotaler , he is said to be the driving force behind the campaign against alcoholism. His parents are teetotalers so he didn't get the whiskey from his home. "Teetotaler" refers to someone who abstains entirely from alcoholic beverages . The commitment to zero alcohol might have started as a movement among temperance advocates, but these days, many teetotalers simply prefer to sip on a nice cup of tea or coffee instead of a cocktail. A person who abstains from alcohol might choose tea as his or her alternative beverage, but the word teetotaler has nothing to do with tea.
