While this sentence is technically understandable, I've never heard "쉰 명" used to say 50 people. It's more natural to say "오십" here.

          What's the difference between 함께 and 가티?

            I first thought "we drink 50 wines together" ;)

            명이 is the counter for humans. So if you see 명이, you can know it's talking about 50 people, not 50 drinks.

            Sounds like a party.
