The last time I was a bit squiffy was at the work Xmas do on the 9th Dec.
I have no idea what time I got home but I do remember how I got home. I have no recollection of anything after getting in. I woke up to a pile of clothes on the bathroom floor which I don't remember leaving there, and, I still had my make up on which made me look a bit Alice Cooperesque. I know that I didn't fight anyone, fall over and injure myself or vomit on anybody's soft furnishings but apart from that, the memory is very fuzzy.
Maybe a better way would be to charge people for their Ambulance and A&E treatment, paid for by credit card at the time of treatment. Having to pay a couple of hundred quid for services required after a good night out may make some people think twice. Having done a stint in A&E (many years ago), I can say with a degree of experience that most of the people who attend after a drunken night out are complete time wasters and require nothing more than a plaster (and a good kick in the pants).

Having once been admitted to A & E on a Friday night, with a severe asthma attack and witnessing first hand what really happens, I couldn't agree more lettie, especially the kick up the pants bit, and I'm serious
