Definition
Followers or priestesses of Bacchus (the Roman god of wine); people who participate in wild, drunken revelry or frenzied celebration.
Etymology
From Latin 'Bacchans,' followers of Bacchus (from Greek 'Bacchos'). In Roman mythology, bacchants were the priestesses and followers known for their ecstatic, intoxicated rituals in honor of the wine god.
Kelly Says
Ancient Rome had actual organized cults of bacchants—women who would work themselves into frenzied states during wine festivals—and the practice got so wild that the Roman Senate actually banned it in 186 BCE, making it one of history's first drug-related crackdowns.
