What did Belshazzar do at the festival?

The Bible says that Belshazzar sponsored a festival for a thousand of his lords. They drank a lot of wine, and worshiped their gods of metal and stone. In addition, Belshazzar and his cohorts drank wine from vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar stole from the temple in Jerusalem.
