A drink party is one at which the guests drink from arrival until 'carriages' (or, as Pa had printed, 'Stretcher bearers'). Quantity is not specified. Cake is not served at any drink party of mine but I usually do a line of cold sausages to titillate the drinking muscles.

If you want to be shown a good time come to me for drink.

If you want to be shown a good time only from a distance find you way to E-S, I understand his Madeira cake has seen a bottle of the stuff, but only at the same range.

If you just want a little Kipple then you, MacAndrew and Gunga Din can do that in the comfort of your own cabin with a drop of Night Nurse to see you up the little wooden companionway.
