Gluttons? No, not gluttons... although they were found of drinking and merry-making, I doubt you could call that “gluttony”.

Perhaps he (Legolas) was, but he had no significant role until the War of the Ring (in LOTR).

JRRT did not dwell much on the elves of Mirkwood. Except in UT where he mentioned Thranduil’s father (Oropher), and after the War of the Ring where the ElvenKing and Celeborn team up to get rid of the orcs and minions of Sauron.
