1. Consider such adjectives as loose, unfettered, and unbridled in relation to a possible application to the noun life. (I assume that such an application of each word would not be nonderivative or literal; that the ambiguous expression a loose liver would involve a nonderivative sense of loose if uttered e.g. by a nurse in a hospital who complained about the number of patients with loose livers, but not if uttered censoriously to describe a particular man.) It seems to me that (in the absence of any further sense for either word) one might expect to be able to mean more or less the same by a loose life, and an unfettered life; the fact that, as things are, loose life is tied to dissipation, whereas unfettered life seems quite general in meaning, suggests that perhaps loose does, and unfettered does not, have a derivative sense in this area. As for unbridled life (which one might perhaps have expected, prima facie, to mean much the same as unfettered life), the phrase is slightly uncomfortable (because unbridled seems to be tied to such words as passion, temper, lust, and so on).
