party culture

Celebration-focused lifestyle habits

Party culture is the social environment and attitudes surrounding recreational gatherings, drinking, and nightlife—particularly among college students and young adults.

The term often carries critical undertones, suggesting excessive focus on alcohol, drugs, or hookups: The school's party culture made it hard to focus on academics.

It can also describe a workplace where socializing takes precedence over professionalism.
