Bacchanalia: noun -
named from the Roman god of wine, Bacchus; a Roman festival celebrated with
dancing, song, and revelry; orgy.
‘After they left Glastonbury, one group of festival goers
bought large quantities of cheap wine and took it to a local field where grass
still grew. There, abandoning clothes along with cares, their spontaneous party
quickly developed into a Bacchanalia, with obvious consequences for all
involved.’
