False. An abstainer is some one refrains from something by choice. Not to deny a pleasure or because of temptation.

False. An abstainer has more sense than a weaker person who gives in to all fleshly desires. That is why pain was invented. We dont touch the iron because it is hot and will burn us. We dont do drugs and alcohol because they are very harmful to your body and potentionally to others. If I abstain from alcohol because I know it is wrong for me, I am strong. If I abstain from sweets because they are making me gain weight, I have control. Every pleasurable thing is not good.

False. An abstainer can be a person who has tried it and doesn't like it. They have made a choice using free will. No one is guaranteed pleasure by yielding into temptation.
A best answer?

false.
An abstainer is a person who says hey I am not doing this because I want to. I feel it's right for me. I abstain from base jumping. I don't feel left out in the least.

False and abstainer is not a weak person. It takes courage to stand by your convictions.

What? Depends what he's abstaining from. There are many more motives for abstination than just denying self pleasure.
