carousers

Late-night drinkers

Carousers are people who drink and celebrate boisterously, typically in a group setting.

The word suggests rowdy, uninhibited revelry—loud toasts, late nights, perhaps stumbling home at dawn.

The carousers spilled out of the pub at closing time.

The singular carouser describes someone known for such behavior.
