Language pair:	Spanish > English
Subject:	General
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	seguiría de juerga
Context:	Oyeron otro ruido. Otra vez parecía la puerta. Se miraron. Decidieron bajar. Le extrañó que Pipo no maullase, por eso al principio pensaron que no tenía importancia. Gracia se temió que fuese su marido. Aunque se convenció a sí misma de que seguiría de juerga. No era la primera vez que se comportaba de tal manera. Una vez, mientras tomaba un ponche con la vecina, la cogió del cuello y la arrastró hasta su casa ante la atenta mirada de sus vecinos, que vieron como la tiraba al suelo al entrar la casa. Recordaba: -Tú, puta, harás lo que yo mande.

she convinced herself that he would still be on a drinking spree

My comment:

Although "juerga" is used to refer to partying, it most often refers to a 'not-well-mannered'/brute way of behaving... as in the case of describing an out-of-control fraternity party or someone who has been drinking and is physically or psychologically abusive towards another, etc. (loud and boisterous, normally).
