BOOZE-fuelled Brits spilled on to streets around the country as they raucously saw in the New Year.

Partygoers across the country were drunk, disorderly and dishevelled as they stumbled out of bars and clubs.

There was carnage in Britain’s major cities – including London, Newcastle, Liverpool and Birmingham – as revellers came out in force, despite the grim weather in some areas.

It was a busy night for the emergency services, with some reporting a huge spike in the number of calls they received.

The Metropolitan Police said that officers had made 96 arrests across the capital by 3.45am relating to the New Year’s Eve celebrations, mainly for being drunk, public order offences and assault.

Calls to West Midlands Ambulance Service peaked between 1am and 4am, with a total of 1,291 calls between midnight and 5am, a 9 per cent increase on the same period last year.

In Great Britain, this is known as a "standing headline."

As once Great Britain continues to circle the drain it’s youth seems to embody it’s sad decline. From what I understand behavior like this happens pretty much all the time. Consider what these kid’s grandparents and great-grandparents were. Sad to see.
