orgy1560s, orgies (pl.) "secret rites in the worship of certain Greek and Roman gods," especially Dionysus, from M.Fr. orgies (c.1500), from L. orgia, from Gk. orgia (pl.) "secret rites," from PIE base *werg- "to work" (see urge (v.)). The singular, orgy, was first used in English 1660s for the extended sense of "any licentious revelry." OED says of the ancient rites that they were "celebrated with extravagant dancing, singing, drinking, etc.," which gives "etc." quite a workout.
It's a real clusterfucking bacchanal!

... and a friend of mine arranged for the small company he worked for
to throw their annual picnic there. It got rained out halfway through
the afternoon. Almost everyone left. My friend and a few co-workers
came into the bar (honest, it was a rare weekend DAY that found me
in a bar).
.
The bar owner came out and said the only thing he couldn't just put
aside for something else later were the 500 clams he had just already
steamed.
.
A couple of the coworkers, together with a couple of us barflies,
literally rolled up our sleeves and attacked the BINS of clams he
brought out. We finished them.
.
That began what became an annual event that grew every year --
dozens of people getting together at someone's house for the entire
weekend and going through THOUSANDS of clams (as well as kegs
and kegs and kegs and kegs of beer and various "sundries" --
steamers on Friday night and HUGE stockpots of red AND white clam
chowder on Saturday night.
.
They were known as the 2nd (4th, 6th, etc.) Annual Clam Orgies.
.
That first unplanned "orgy", I lost count at 70 clams... and ordering a
dozen clams in a restaurant -- even now, 20+ years later -- seems...
well, it seems downright anticlimactic.

Click on the links above to see how that can work
Here's a bier delivery to go along with at least half of the intent of a Bacchanal, not to mention including another similar character to the ones in the artwork:
