lost weekends
Hazy drunken stretches
A lost weekend is a period of heavy drinking or substance use that consumes an entire weekend, leaving little memory or productivity.
The phrase suggests time that vanished into intoxication: He emerged from another lost weekend, hungover and remorseful.
It can extend to any weekend squandered on excess or escapism.
The term gained currency from the 1945 film about alcoholism.
