A young woman dressed in next to nothing lies prostrate on a soaking pavement, one of thousands of binge-drinking revellers who caused chaos on Britain's streets on 'Black Friday'.
With just nine days until Christmas, hordes of party-goers ignored the driving rain and freezing conditions to pack out pubs, bars and clubs on festive parties, and many were so drunk they could barely stand.
In scenes of carnage repeated across the country, women stumbled in the middle of the road and yobs fought in and outside bars, while some thugs hurled rubbish at each other.
To prepare for what is traditionally one of the biggest weekends of the year, police and paramedics set up army-style field hospitals to treat the wounded and intoxicated.
In London, a centre for drunks in Soho was set up at a cost of £500,000. All beds were taken by 11.30pm on Friday.
Paramedics in the major cities were stretched to the limit, with Newcastle's ambulance service taking up to 1,200 calls on Friday alone.

The Brits are the worst travelers in the world. The Americans are prolly # 2, though.
English mating ritual.
Boogie till you puke!
This is what you call celebrating the Left’s secular “Christmas” without the spirit and love of Christ.
We have “progressed” so far.
Ahhhh... the Macc Lads..
Self-proclaimed “rudest, crudest, lewdest, drunkest band in Christendom”
I worked for a number of years for an English Company and wondered how my Limey friends spoke our common language before they went to University, the Macclads solved that.
Contrast this to the way Gremans do Christmas. I was there two Christmases. It was amazing to see them happily celebrating the way America did in its pre-revolutionary era two or three decades ago. Jesus and nativity scenes, christmas trees and good cheer everywhere.
The Brits have become a sickening bunch, and we are not too far behind them.
