Esther 1:3

In the 3rd year of his reign [around 483 BC] he held a banquet (great feast) for all his princes and servants. The military leaders of Persia and Media and all the noble men and public figures from the provinces were there.
[A few years earlier, around 484 BC, Ahasuerus had put down rebellions in both Egypt and Babylon. These victories may be one of the reasons for the festivities and ­celebrations now described. The word banquet (Hebrew mishteh) comes from the verb shatah (to drink). The word is used twenty times in the book (Est. 2:18; 5:4; 7:2; 9:18–19, 20–22) and describes a grand feast with much wine, see also Est. 5:6; Dan. 5.]
