Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'drunken' (intoxicated) modifies 'reveler' (someone who celebrates noisily), so the phrase simply denotes a person partying while drunk. This straightforward adjective + noun pattern is common cross-linguistically and should be clear to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
The compound drunken reveler joins drunken (meaning 'drunk') and reveler (a person who 'celebrates loudly'). It paints a quick picture of someone stumbling through a noisy party because of too much drink, so it means 'a person who takes part in wild celebrations while drunk'.
