Drunken Revellers
49 Answers
Ambulances are for emergencies, not self-inflicted drunken revellers. The police should have authority to hose these drunks down and leave them where they collapse.

When my marriage first ended-I lived for about 6 months in a flat in a trendy area that's full of bars and clubs. Friday and Saturday nights were spent in the relative safety of my flat-as I watched the revellers below......noise,spontaneous fights,lewd girls(in particular),exposed boobs,peeing in side streets.....want to hear more? And this was in an area attractive to tourists and students....never mind the more notorious parts of the city where the more hardened drinkers congregate.
The homeless charity I work for lets out our premises to the police on weekend nights...for use as a field hospital to treat all the casualties of drink.

I don't like being around v ery drunk people in pubs in general, hate the idea that people go out to deliberatly get trollied. I've been really quite merry over the new years period after a few too many glasses of the good stuff but not so I had a hangover, fell on my arse or puked. And all within the confines of my best friends house after a nice dinner. I hate drunk, out of control, loud or obnoxious peopl and as such, don't really go out on any festive occasion such as new year or even stay out particularly late so I don't have to witness it.
Living in central london, I see people making their merry way home in a fairly happy state which is fine.... I also see people puking, peeing and stumbling. I really don't like it. ANd I hear lots of fights/arguments from my room.

My first wife was a violent alcoholic and the ten years of hell I went through has left me with an intense dislike of people who get drunk.
I used to own a chauffeur company for 12 years and before that I worked as a part-time taxi driver for a local firm. I often had to pick up these idiots who had had too much to drink (onthe basis of "I'm having a good time"!). Occasionally I would have someone pass out on the back seat and I wouldn't be able to wake them. My contempt was such that more than once I opened both rear doors, put my foot on their backside, then just pushed them out in the gutter head-first. I would then just drive away and leave them in a crumpled heap! I didn't care what happened to them.
That was 20 years ago and I was much younger and angrier. But the point here is why do these drinkers think they can get themselves into such a state they can't walk or talk and are being sick everywhere - then expect others to take them home or sort them out? There are many people with genuine medical emergencies but ambulances are delayed by these drinkers who create the problems themselves. People seem happy to say smokers shouldn't be treated in the same vein as other medical conditions. I'm not sure about that or about relegating alcohol-based emergencies but I certainly feel drinkers should be sent the bill for the ambulance and their own treatment.
