Here, it is not so congested, so unless you live in a very congested location (downtown or a section of a large city where bars are) you don't see it. There are specific bars (hangouts) that get that way around closing time so it pretty much is limited to their parking lots. Only very large cities have bars and businesses so close together though where people may be walking on the streets. Usually there are only a couple of drunks though. Drinking is a problem still and binge drinking among college students so if it occurs, it is around college hangouts. The drinking age here is 21 so anyone drinking younger is a party at a home, not a bar.

>>>Cheers Tracy.
>>> I don't now what its like in the US but in the UK a lot of town and city centres feel like a drunks only zones every weekend now not just New Year. I wish the government would stick more tax on alcohol to cover all the emergency service work. And enforce the law properly. Its an offense for a bar to serve a drunk so how do some of these people get so legless.

>Yes I know Thomas. Get a friend to buy it or buy loads before you are drunk . My point is that bars serve alcohol and use bouncers to eject trouble makers. Those troublemakers are then on the street where they ruin everyone elses evening. We ban people from driving drunk I think it would be a good idea to ban repeat offenders for drunken troublemaking from buying or consuming alcohol.
