7 down - People throwing party, after which I throw up (9)

I've got: D ? S ? O ? O ? I

One (at least!) of those letters must be wrong because I can't find anything to fit.

I've assumed "party" is "do" and "throw up" is "toss" backwards and that the answer refers to "people". Probably completely wrong!

You are welcome.
Discobolus (singular) is in quicksolve on this site, but not the plural discoboli
