Search: bacchanal
Why: In my favorite Harry Belafonte song "Zombie Jamboree" (which is actually by the Kingston Trio, a bunch of white guys, who knew):
Although the season was CarnivalAnswer: The bacchanalia were originally festivals for Bacchus (Dionysus), the god of wine. They cultish celebrations were held in secret and attended only by women. Later, admission to the rites was extended to men, and celebrations took place 5 times a month (!).
We get together in bacchanal
Now, however, the term refers to any drunken revelry.
You might have [had] a chapter of BACCHUS (Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students) at your school telling you to just say no.
