Youngsters can't handle their drink and cause trouble

Young people and alcohol

Young men kick off and cause trouble

You can almost see the trouble taking shape before it happens. I’ve been out with friends in the past in pubs and clubs and you can usually spot the trouble makers a mile off. Fortunately, so too can most doormen.



Another New Year has started and I have been reminded yet again how some young people these days seem incapable of having a few drinks without kicking off and starting trouble.

26-3-2008Mr Hitler hit the nail on the head. The scum attitudes of a large proportion of society is intolerable. It is sucking the life out of a once great nation. We truly have lost the sense of maturity and responsibility and it seems like there are too many who want to just get pissed and fight rather t...moreJack Sparrow
21-2-2008I'm not shocked by teenage binge drinking in the slightest. Not when you can buy about 3 litres of strong white cider for about £3. Just the other day I saw a 10 year old at a bus stop with a can of Special Brew asking passerbys' for a 'quid.' Telling the to 'f off'...moreJonno
20-2-2008Having been teetotal all of my life, I cannot see the appeal in either drinking or getting drunk. For me, it's a waste of money and a devaluation of our body when drink is taken to extremes. I have nothing against drink - don't get me wrong - there may even be argument that an occasional...moremark
20-2-2008I tend to agree, it is mostly this chav element that is the problem and it most certainly stems from the parents. You see, the parents of these scummers were young when all the discipline was dropped in schools and have thus grown up with an attitude of getting away with everything. It's this wh...moreMr Hilter
19-2-2008In my eyes and alot of other peoples eyes it's mostly teenagers who 'take-on' a binge culture. I am 15 at the moment, I DO NOT, DO NOT go out every weekend to the park and get drunk enough to start a fight with someone and end up in hospital or a Police van, I dispise these people usuall...moreLee
01-2-2008I'm 16, and to be honest I make my own alcohol which is totally legal under UK law, in fact it would have been legal to drink my own produce from the age of 5. but now that I'm not bad at it, it tastes quite good. yes I think some people do get aggressive when drunk, and It is a shame an...moredaniel
13-1-2008As an 18 year old I say alcohol is an amazing social tool.Sure we need to keep it out the hands of those little 12 year old chavs, but once thats all over and done with and we become stricter on ID its going to be more fun for everyone concernedFunyForAll
04-1-2008I personally would advocate a return to the days when teenagers could sneak into a pub and have a few sly drinks and leave. At least this way they were drinking in a safer environment, and not drinking much for fear of being court. Now everyone drinks on the streets which puts them and others in dan...morelizzie
04-1-2008The problem is mostly women I'm afraid, tax on alcohol should be dramatically increased I think, might as well make some money off them and losen the grip on petrol tax (yeah right!) Seriously though, this causes other problems, the police and paramedics have to "set up camp" in to...moreBillabong
04-1-2008It's usually a woman that's the cause of the problems. Alcohol loosens the tongue, and that's when things get said. I was at a party, and this girl of about 18 - 20 started bragging about the size of her boyfriends C**K, this started an argument with her boyfriend, who had had one to...moreRicky
03-1-2008I seem to see the women under 28 cause as much trouble as men in between 16-28 catogory.Steal
