drinkfest

Extended alcohol session

A drinkfest is a social gathering centered on consuming large quantities of alcohol, typically characterized by extended, enthusiastic drinking.

The term combines "drink" with the suffix "-fest" (from German, meaning festival or celebration), following the pattern of words like slugfest or lovefest.

The bachelor party turned into an all-night drinkfest.

The word carries informal, often slightly disapproving connotations suggesting excess.
