carousal
Night of debauchery
A carousal is a noisy, lively drinking party or celebration: The carousal lasted until dawn.
The word suggests boisterous merrymaking with plenty of alcohol—rowdier than a simple gathering, less formal than a ball.
Not to be confused with carousel, the rotating platform or merry-go-round.
