lost weekend

Days of drinking

A lost weekend is a period of heavy drinking or drug use, typically spanning a weekend and leaving the person with hazy memories and little accomplished.

The phrase suggests time vanished into intoxication: After the breakup, he went on a lost weekend and didn't surface until Monday.

It can extend to any short period of escapist excess.
