It's not ideal and no one is pretending that it is but I haven't heard one solution put forward on this forum.
There have always been drunks of course....

Visited the village of Heptonstall last year, in a corner they had the original "Lock-up" where in the past the village drunks got deposited until sober. It was constructed out of brick was only a few meters square and had only a door - no windows or facilitiesand looked pretty damp and dirty. I expect it worked for most after one or two visits....
