Explanation:
「我参加过许多宴会。说真格的,大大小小宴个天昏地暗、没完没了的会。」她说着又补上一句:「到头来总有个时候,你会知道宴够会啦。」

也凑个热闹吧。

把「宴会」改为「派对」也行。这里指的是那种狂饮滥欢加上也许滥交的派对。

i partied my tail off
I partied my ass off (= I partied very hard)


Explanation:
cf work your ass/butt off (mainly US offensive) = to work very hard eg I worked my ass off for that man.

like 'laugh/shout/scream etc your head off' (informal) = to laugh, shout, scream etc. very noisily and for a long time. eg There I was lying face down on the pavement and you two were laughing your heads off!

=> party your tail off = party a great deal, all the time, as hard as you can go (imagine dancing a lot, shake it...)
