barra libre


Explanation:
Siendo que dregs son los posos en las botellas de licor, los restos de las botellas, me sugiere que es una fiesta en la que ofrecen bebidas. En España generalmente son "barra libre" - beber todo lo que se quiera. Puesto que esto implica "beber hasta que se acaben las botellas - solo queden los restos"...

disagree  Walter Landesman: dregs: 1. restos, basura, escoria. No suena muy apropiado para un evento social. Me inclino por la segunda acepción.
