SURFEITING (κραιπάλη, G3190, overindulgence). In 16th-cent. Eng. the word meant overindulgence in anything, esp. food and drink, to the point of disgust and loathing. It is now obsolete in this sense. The KJV of Luke 21:34 uses the word; the RSV has DISSIPATION, since the primary reference is to excessive drinking and its results.
