This is the night that Ambulance services across the country (World maybe, who knows) get totally crippled by people who :-
Can't hold their drink,
Think of nothing but themselves,
Spend a week or more's wages on alcohol in one night,
Embarrass themselves in front of their co workers, friends and possibly family
Kill someone or cause them suffering. Yes I did mean to write that. When someone gets so drunk that they become unconscious or their "Friends" (Inverted commas as real friends wouldn't let them get that bad!) are worried because someone has had their drink spiked!!! or isn't responding properly due to the amount of alcohol consumed, an ambulance gets called, an ambulance which will then be tied up for an hour or so dealing with some stupid person who has caused their own situation by stupidity, when it could be attending to someone who has life threatening condition and needs an ambulance through no fault of their own!
This is the night which sees Ambulance service and Police personnel assaulted in the line of duty due to intoxicated people.
Is it OK to go out of control when so much is at stake?
One last thing... DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE, STAY ALIVE, And let everyone have a Happy Christmas!
