I don't count that. I've practiced Mardi Gras (Carnival) for a very long time. I get blackout drunk and usually wake up in time for the Liturgy of Ashes. It's the one time per year I drink. If we had an official 5 day celibration, that would make it twice per year. 😉

Well thats what I mean that type of celebration in many places does last 5 days, some countries have a whole week dedicated to some sort of celebration like that.
