  • Britain's biggest student night Carnage UK was held in Sheffield last night
  • Has caused storm of controversy in past by 'encouraging binge drinking'
  • Drunken teenagers in ripped shirts were helped to walk by friends
  • Hundreds attended event - which was tamer than those in past

Skimpily clad young women sway in towering heels, with little more than a ripped t-shirt and shorts to protect them from the October evening.

Overly refreshed young men are helped along the streets by bleary eyed friends, while others are bent double, and wretching in the streets.

These were the scenes in the early hours of this morning in Sheffield as the latest Carnage UK event hit the city.

Dubbed Britain's most debauched student pub crawl, the night certainly lived up to its name.

However, by the usual standards of the event - which promoters claim will give students 'the best night of their lives' - the night in Sheffield appeared somewhat tamer than previous events.

While previous fancy dress themes have included 'Pimps and Hoes' and 'Nympho nurses and dirty doctors', this year's circus theme lent itself to a slightly more Autumn friendly outfit. 

 

The suspenders, stockings and basques of previous years were replaced in large by jean shorts, trainers and t-shirts.

Amorous couples were still seen canoodling in the streets, some sliding to the cold ground for a seat, and weary party-goers flocked noisily to kebab and chicken shops to soak up the booze with a takeaway.

The excitement looked to have proven too much for one young man, as he clutches on to a wall, overcome with nausea.

The Carnage UK organisers have repeatedly come under fire for promoting excessive binge drinking as students are encouraged to go from one bar to the next to consume copious amounts of alcohol.

In the past, the nights have ended in controversy.

In 2009, 19-year-old student Philip Laing desecrated a poppy wreath in Sheffield and was later ordered to carry out 250 hours of community service and pay £185 cost after admitting outraging public decency.

Following a Carnage event held the same year, police said they were looking into the possibility of charging the organisers for the cost of the extra police needed to be drafted in to man the streets.

Police in Exeter claimed the event cost them thousands of pounds.

In 2010 a court heard how a carnage pub crawl operator punched unconscious a resident who voiced concerns about noise levels at one of their events.

Why is this a surprise to anybody? Any why has it made the news? If you took photos on ANY student night out in ANY city for ANY university the photographer would come back with similar photos. Youth like to drink in the UK. That is not news.

Red arrow all you want, but you're only a student once and freshers is often a teenager's first taste of freedom. Let them be, it happens every year at every Uni- you soon grow out the habit of the binge drinking when you assess the bank account.

Well it helps keep the poor dears' minds off their sociological exams(which will net them nil jobs on graduation) and worries about paying back their student loans'. Next time you see a student on the BBC news,moaning about how hard their life is under the present government, remember this story.

Being "drunk and disorderly" is a criminal offence and has been for very many years. Why don't the police prosecute these selfish young yobs?

Carnage is a foul event, Alcohol needs to be treated like the drug it is, it's a strange world that we live in that I can't buy more than 2 packs of paracetamol in a supermarket but I can buy as many crates of beer as I want..
