You give him a laugh and a leave him guessing. "Party" is a disclosure without any real disclosure. Sort of like answering a question about how a night with a lady went by saying "We hooked up a bit," which can mean just about anything depending on the inflection and smirk or lack thereof.

It's sufficient, but not necessary, and makes you sound like you are 19.* You could just say "had a lot to drink" or "was out a little late" which we all (well, maybe not you and coltrane) recognize as euphemisms.
*or you wish/think you were/are 19.
