Britain’s worst town for drunken women revealed as police say they're 'as bad as blokes'

A UK police officer said:  “Only a few years ago women in a group might have acted as a ­calming influence on a party out for the night.

“Now in some towns a group of girls on a serious drinking session can be worse than the men. They can get into all sorts of trouble and end up injuring themselves, losing or damaging their own property – or worse.

A women reveller slumps to the pavement

“A lot of the problem is down to cheap drink, with women often getting drunk from alcohol they consume at home
before they even hit the town centre.

“People laugh at the pictures of half-naked women lying across pavements paralytic from booze. But it isn’t funny and can end up having really serious consequences for the person concerned.”

Campaigners are concerned about levels of binge drinking

Geordie lasses top a shameful league table of Britain’s most drunk women.

They have been punished with more £80 on-the-spot fines for nuisance public boozing than females in any other region, police figures uncovered.
