Scantily-clad
students caused a headache for police and bouncers last night as they
embarked on a booze-fuelled bar crawl around Manchester city centre.
Worse
for wear youngsters were pictured struggling to stay upright and
staggering into roads during the annual night out, run by controversial
organisers Carnage.
One
reveller was later pictured being loaded into an ambulance by
paramedics while police had to seize alcohol from others and keep some
from falling in front of cars.

Girls in fancy
dress rest on a park bench during the annual event, which has been
criticised for encouraging students to drink to excess

struggles to keep his trousers up
After the controversial 'pimps and
hoes' theme of last year's event, organisers this year settled on an
'animal' theme for the night
As is becoming common with the night, participants were seen staggering home afterwards having drunk too much alcohol
The girl's two friends were seen
supporting her after the night, but were still struggling to keep her
upright as they walked down the street
The
event, whose slogan this year is 'unleash your beast', has attracted
criticism around the country for the terrible states in which many of
its participants end up.
City
councillor Elaine Boyes told the Manchester Evening News: 'They are out
there blind drunk and being sick - it's an outrage. The bars need to
take responsibility because a lot of the time they are serving these
kids when they have obviously had too much. There needs to be control.
I've been out previously and seen it and it's just not acceptable.'
