carousing

Engaged in or associated with the act of carousing.

I remember I was once of a party of between twenty and thirty officers, from a squadron of four or five line-of-battle ships, and some smaller vessels, which met together at a tavern at St. Pierre's, Martinico, when a carousing scene took place, so characteristically unique, that it would require the pen of Scott, or the pencil of Cruikshank , to do it justice.

A carousing zone is a place where the ritualism of generating antinomian excitement prevails and may even be institutionalized.
