Etymology
The term 'drunkfest' is a portmanteau of 'drunk', derived from the Middle English word 'drunken', which refers to a state of intoxication due to alcohol, and 'fest', which is a shortening of 'festival', originating from the Latin 'festivus', meaning 'of a feast or festival'. The word began to emerge in casual vernacular in the late 20th century as party culture became more prevalent, especially among younger people. With the rise of social media and the sharing of party experiences online, the term gained popularity in describing gatherings that explicitly center around drinking. The connotation of 'drunkfest' can vary depending on the context, from light-hearted fun to problematic binge drinking behavior.
